Softly Wrap
I have used some plant dyed yarns in this weave which are lovely pale and soft colours. Polwarth and merino dyed with mint, tanekaha bark and onion skins with a block of wild awapara in soft greys. Also some highlights of turmeric dyed hand spun romney and hand spun gotland.
The warp is made in merinos and mohair, locally grown and produced, some of them hand dyed in soft grey.
This piece is not as long as some of my other wraps, really easy to wear across shoulders or wrapped around your neck or over your knees!
Feel
Super soft yarns that are easy to wear close to the skin. A very cosy warm piece!

Care
I wash each piece as soon as it leaves the loom. This evens up the fibres, cleans them and fluffs them up to look their best. Your weaving doesn't need excessive washing, wool is great for repelling dirt and moisture. To wash, by hand gently, a non chemical liquid works best, then a quick spin around the washing machine to get out the excess water or roll in a towel. Give the weaving a shake and gently pull the fibres across the width of the weaving. Hang in the breeze over a towel on the line until dry... Easy!!
Rolling up your weaving to travel or store will prevent and remove creases.
Word to the wise...
If you ever catch any of the fibres, gently pull the weaving widthwise and the fibres will disappear back into the fabric.
