The Merino Silk Whisper Scarf
Light, luxurious and beautifully ethereal.
Woven from an exquisite blend of 85% merino wool and 15% silk, this stunning scarf has a smooth, gauzy voile feel with a heavenly softness against the skin. Lightweight yet wonderfully warm, it has a flowing, romantic drape and subtle natural sheen that catches the light beautifully.
Naturally hand dyed using plants, each scarf carries its own unique depth and variation of botanical colour. No two pieces are ever quite the same, making each one a truly individual Thread Journeys creation.
Highly breathable yet naturally insulating, the merino and silk blend makes this a beautiful piece for transitional weather. It provides warmth without weight, making it easy to wear draped loosely around your shoulders, wrapped around your neck or layered over your favourite clothing.
Generously sized at 1700mm x 320mm, it features beautiful hand-rolled tassels at each end, adding a delicate, handcrafted finish.
A luxurious everyday layer with the beauty of natural fibres and botanical colour.

The garment will take on a life of it’s own as it naturally ages, just like us, adding to it’s own uniqueness and individuality (just like you).
Created from natural fibres, at the end of it’s life this garment can be added to your compost heap to naturally decompose & feed the soil (very unlike synthetic clothing filled with chemicals).
Botanical Printing / Natural dyeing / Ecoprinting is a slow process where fabric is dyed and printed using the natural tannins, color & prints of botanicals (plants, leaves, roots, bark, flowers, lichens etc). Much like our ancestors did for generations, clothing can be colored using nature’s abundance without the use of synthetic, toxic & dangerous chemicals. The colors are truely natural (found in my garden or foraged around my neighborhood, not out of packets), depicting the colors of my local surroundings & the ever changing seasons.
