This beautiful lightweight shawl is 75% wool and 25% silk in a fine herringbone pattern. It can be wrapped around the body but is also light enough to work as a neck scarf; perfect for the Australian climate. The shawl measures 200 cm x 70 cm.
The shawl is natural unbleached white colour and is ready to dye with botanical dyes or Ecoprint on a large steamer role. The fibre takes up dye colours beautifully.
You can purchase a kit that you can use to dye the shawl with four fashion colour choices
- A portion of marigold and walnut dye for a lovely rich golden/ mustard colour.
- A portion of marigold dye with iron mordant for an olive green colour.
- Madder root dye producing a fashionable 'clay' colour.
- A combination of dyers chamomile with a small portion of Madder root for a popular soft apricot colour.
The shawl and dye kit comes with everything you need (measured portions of dye, mordant, calico ‘teabag’, instructions and 1 shawl). You will need a medium to large sized pot. If you use a large dye pot, you are more likely to get an even result because the fabric will have space to move around.
The images show the undyed blank, the shawl dyed with the 4 colour choices, and an Ecoprint project with silver dollar and rose leaves.

Gorgeous soft shawl, and fun to dye. Didn't realise there was more than one colour to choose from, but still love it
