Part of the Tall Ships Collection, KRISTIANSAND is an exciting, colourful textile which is inspired by thin section imagery. The thin section was created by technician Iona Copely of the University of Aberdeen by filing the sample down to a very thin slice - this allowed us to investigate the optical properties of the sample through cross polarised light. I think thin section imagery is absolutely outstanding and after the success of my Granite thin section design, I’m very excited to have worked with this type of scientific imagery again.
This light velvet infinity scarf is a lightweight version of the bestselling Agate & Ayre plush velvet infinity scarf. Perfect for the Spring and Summer months, it has the same soft and tactile properties as our usual velvet but in a lighter weight. Available in a very limited run of 4 scarves, these are made to order and will be dispatched within 2 weeks.
These are long enough to wrap around twice for a snug, cosy hug around your neck. You'll be amazed by just how soft this plush fabric is and the incredible detail of the prints. Scarf is approximately 15cm wide, loop is 145cm. Machine washable at 30 degrees. A colour catcher is advised to prolong the vibrancy of the print. Do not iron or tumble dry.
