News — style over fashion

Sssssoooo … I wanted to make myself a single-coloured scarf that would match most of my winter woolies.So how did I make my decision?I took out my most-worn items, and the ones that I would need a scarf to match with.I noted my dominant colours.Then I chose a colour that matched all of those colours.Think outside the box - usually I just go for black, as it matches EVERYTHING! But sometimes a colour (even a bright one) can act like a ‘neutral’ with the right outfit.How about you? How do you choose your accessories?

What is ‘self care’ to you?To me, it’s not about having baths and reading my candlelight … it’s about RESPECT!- doing what makes you feel good- wearing what makes you feel good- actually, anything that makes you feel good!!- hanging around with people who inspire you- dropping people who don’t treat you well … including toxic family members!   By the way, you can find these delicious scarves on my website!

Woohoo, shop update!This gorgeous scarf is a popular one, but I haven’t made one to add to the website for a while - naughty me!But I have now rectified this … you can find it on my website - it’s so soft and delicious, perfect for all genders, and goes with everything in your wardrobe!I really need to make more in different colours, because my old hot pink and black one is the one that I reach for the most, even after all these years :D

So what is a weaver’s favourite scarf?I have to confess, while I love a classic double-wrapped scarf, my go-tos are usually my Cravats!I love to wear a Cravat under a jacket - it gives a pop of colour under a black coat, and also looks great with a jumper or shirt.My favourite at the moment is the Liquorice Allsort cravat, although this Purple one is also totally delicious. I think I need to make myself one, to be honest :D

Mustard / Dusty Pink Vintage weave!I had a request to make a couple more of these for The Jam Factory, and I had forgotten how much I love this weave structure!For the weaving nerds out there, it’s a 4 shaft M & W draft. It’s strange how light the mustard looks against the oatmeal and dusty pink warp - it looks much darker against my usual black warp ;)Head over to the Jam Factory in the city if you want one … saying that, I think I’ll need to make more in this design again!
