Quiet lake: Nightshade

Merino Wool

This handwoven scarf is my own design, made from Irish Donegal merino wool. The natural yarn is soft and pleasant to the touch, giving the finished fabric a warm, breathable feel and a substantial texture. A timeless accessory for the cooler days of autumn, winter and early spring, it combines everyday practicality with the character of handwoven craftsmanship and the slow fashion ethos. The scarf has two distinct sides, each defined by its own dominant colour palette. While creating the "Quiet Lake" series, I wanted to capture the atmosphere and colours of the banks of a small pond. The muted tones suggest water, mist and waterside vegetation, while the colour accents draw on the flowers of plants that grow in such places. "Bittersweet nightshade", whose flower colours I incorporated into the textile, produces purple flowers with yellow centres. Its above-ground parts have also been used in folk medicine.
