Blush Banksia – Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Scarf

Blush Banksia – Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Scarf

Delicate yet earthy, Blush Banksia is dyed in soft pink tones inspired by native flora. The handwoven merino and alpaca blend is breathable yet insulating—making it the perfect companion for transitional weather and chilly days alike. Subtle woven stripes add a gentle detail, and the hand-fringed edges give it a rustic finish that complements its botanical roots.

As always, the fibres are naturally dyed using foraged plants and materials, which means no two scarves are ever the same. It’s a slow-made, wear-everywhere kind of piece that combines beauty, warmth, and sustainability.

Care Instructions for Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Scarves

Your Ashculme Textiles scarf is handwoven with care using a luxurious blend of merino wool and fleece from the artist’s own alpacas. Naturally dyed with foraged plant materials, each piece is one-of-a-kind and made to last when treated gently.

To keep your scarf looking and feeling its best, follow these simple care steps:

Washing:

Hand wash only, in cool water using a gentle wool-safe detergent.

Do not soak for extended periods, and avoid harsh agitation or wringing.

Gently press out excess water without twisting or scrubbing.

Drying:

Lay flat on a clean towel and roll to remove moisture.

Reshape if needed, and allow to air dry flat out of direct sunlight or heat sources.

Storing:

Fold loosely and store in a cool, dry place.

Avoid hanging for long periods, as this may distort the shape over time.

To deter moths, use natural repellents like cedarwood blocks or lavender sachets.

Please avoid:

Machine washing or tumble drying.

Bleach, stain removers, or fabric softeners.

Ironing directly (use a steamer at a safe distance if needed).

These garments are made to be cherished—soft, warm, and naturally breathable. With a little care, your scarf will remain a timeless and wearable piece of slow fashion for many seasons to come.
