Cashmere Infinity Scarf 'Giro' Walnut Ecoprint

Walnut , leaves and green nuts.

The scarf is handloom knitted in pure cashmere on my 8 gauge machine , 1 end  , in light natural melange colour , embroidered with my dots in a mix of dark,rich tones ,the seams are on the outside with small contrast brown stripe . After knitting I have washed the piece to give it that 'oh-so-soft' touch . Its a beauty even before  printing ;) 

I have chosen to use walnut leaves and some green nuts for the print of this infinity scarf . I placed the leaves in alternate diagonal directions with the nut slices between them. The result is bold leaf and pois motif in soft autumnal yellow tones , olive green and brown . The edges are water-mark tinged with nut brown . After printing I leave each piece fro a couple of days before the final wash , this gives the natural colours time to oxidize and define.

As with each of my eco-printed pieces this is ' one off'  , entirely unique print , the pattern can not be replicated , the leaves from the same plant may be used in other pieces but the pattern and effect will always be different . The print combined with my in-edit dots embroidery makes this knitted cashmere accessory truly special .

Wear it as a long , loose ring , a closed scarf around your neck and down your front or twist it like an infinity 8 and double it back over your head for a warmer and fuller effect , closer to your neck and chin . Let the softness surprise you ! 

These pieces are truly special , and to buy one is to appreciate the astonishing , beauty of the patterns in nature and the natural technique used to print  it and to know that no-one has an embroidered infinity scarf quite like yours !
