Eucalypt Rose – Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Poncho

Eucalypt Rose – Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Poncho

A rich, romantic blend of rose pink and charcoal, Eucalypt Rose captures the beauty of Australian flora in fibre form. This warm, textural poncho is woven from merino wool and fleece from the artist’s own alpacas—fibres known for their incredible softness and ability to retain warmth while remaining breathable.

The colour is achieved using natural plant dyes, giving it depth and variation you won’t find in synthetic fabrics. Finished with a contrast fringe and soft drape, it’s both striking and wearable. The perfect throw-on piece for when the weather turns cool but you still want to feel beautiful, connected, and grounded in nature.

Care Instructions for Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Ponchos

Your Ashculme Textiles poncho 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 poncho 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 poncho will remain a timeless and wearable piece of slow fashion for many seasons to come.
