Description

This scarf is made out of a 100% Australian Fine Merino Wool.

All of my scarfs are naturally dyed in my home studio using various different leaves such as: eucalyptus, fern, maple, birch,  oak, seaweeds and many others, foraged locally from the Tasmanian bush and my garden.  The fresh leaves are contact printed onto the scarf with a gentle steaming process for several hours. Once the leaves are used I can’t use them again, and the leaves go back to earth in my compost. That’s why all of the scarves are one of a kind. No nasty chemicals, just the power and hidden beauty of the leaves.

 

Dimensions:

About 65cm by 200cm

 

How do you care for it?

I recommend hand washing with a mild (preferably eco-friendly) detergent in cold water. You can also machine washing in using a bag for delicate clothing and on delicate settings.

Do not tumble dry.

Iron, on wool settings.

To keep the colours fresh for longer use a splash of vinegar in the last rinsing. On the first few washes the scarf may release little dye. This is normal.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, e.g. leaving it on the washing line for a few days.
