Merino Wool Shawl - GOLD

DESCRIPTION: Quality Australian Merino Wool is lightweight and versatile. One of our best sellers, the Merino shawl is wonderful for travel and folds into a small drawstring care bag. Each piece is dyed by hand with assorted Eucalyptus leaves that are heated with natural ingredients that include tannins, citrus and alkalis. The process releases minerals stored in the leaves which bond with the natural textile (offering a colourfast result). The colours and print are golden hues on a cream background.

MATERIALS: 100% Australian Merino Wool. Scrim finish ends.

CARE: Easy care instructions are provided. Handwash only.

SIZE: 70x210cm.

ARTIST'S COMMENT: "The aroma of citrus fruit and heated Eucalyptus oils fill my senses as I unwind the string that presses the textile surface against the native plant foliage. Over 40 species of Australian plants (Eucalyptus, Grevillea, Melaleuca and more) offer an abundance of beautiful natural dyes (minerals which are released when heated). The outline of the actual leaf is imprinted onto the cloth in exact motif and design composition. Every dye outcome is random and unique; influenced by the season and age of the plant” (Kim Shipton).
