Navy Blue Eleganza Scarf

Eleganzing

This is the latest Black Eleganza Wrap made from thrums or scraps left over from weaving and sewn together on my Pfaff sewing machine. The fibre is a cotton velvet and resembles a cobweb.
This Eleganza Wrap has a wider variety of non-wool fibres and is a lovely vibrant green that will be a appealing colour for wearing in the dark grey days of winter or carry through to the summer season as a fresh wrap. I would love to see this as a wedding garment, whether for the bride or a guest.

The bobbins and non-wools pictured here are for the next Small Wrap named Spice which is based on an image of Indian spices. The piece stemmed from my need to create a piece in the theme of fall in orange.
