100% natural and of course, renewable, wool has been keeping us warm and cosy for centuries. Did you know you don’t need to wash woollen items that often? Just hang them up - in the fresh air or near and open window, or in a steamy bathroom. Voila, less washing!
These fine merino wool scarves have an interesting wavy weave and two tone colour effect. This effect is achieved by different coloured threads being used; one for the warp and one for the weft. These are quite difficult to photograph as the effect is quite subtle and changes with the light.

A beautiful, slightly larger scarf and large enough to be worn as a wrap. Ths piece is a bright blend of peach offset with rich mocha. They are edged on the long sides with a subtle stitching in colours chosen to complement the body of the scarf whilst the short edges have been left raw. Like all Amet & Ladoue scarves, there's great attention to detail and the high quality of the weave. The sophisticated design makes this a stunning choice as a gift or just for yourself.

A gorgeous scarf in a fabulous blend of greens and heathers. Meadow is cut to a generous size perfect as a wrap but its lightness means wearing it as a scarf to keep you cosy and warm is easy. There's beautiful detailing over the body of the scarf - hand embroidered shapes in contrasting mustard as well as complementary green and purple - the two short edges are raw whilst the long are edged. A simply stunning scarf, designed by Amet & Ladoue in Paris and realised by craftsmen in India.

A fine handwoven merino wool scarf with a raw edge. Grey wool with a slight sheen with three colour detail options. The detail which is woven into the main fabric reminds me of the braiding on a military uniform and is tufted from one side but subtle on the reverse. Quite unusual.
