Add a Splash of Colour to your winter Wardrobe

A Splash of Colour

On these dreary wet short winter days, add a splash of colour to lift the mood.  Its easily done by just incorporating a fabulous scarf into your ensemble.  So update those Accessories

These Scarves are all Handmade.  They are made by a process known as felting.  Layer upon layer of fine wool fibers and silk are laid, this produces the background, finer details are added with yet more layer.  The whole piece is then wet and rolled and rolled and I mean rolled and rolled.  It takes ages.  It is at this stage the scarf begins to take on the scarf look, it turn into a fabric as opposed to a bunch of fibers.  The way the fiber interact and meld together is utterly unique, no two pieces ever are alike.  So you really get ONE OF A KIND piece.  Each of these scarves are a piece of art, Wearable Art.
All Scarves are available via for purchase #AmazonUK
