Beautifully crafted and presented scarves by Liz Christy, are given as gifts when something special is required. Gifting is a big part of life, be it for personal or business reasons. Gifts reflect the values of the giver and the esteem in which the receiver is held, and Liz Christy hand-crafted quality has proven to be successful in this respect. Perfect gifts for family, friends and colleagues, Liz’s scarves are also ideal as distinctive presentations. Liz, a textile designer, and hand-weaver is inspired by paintings, and the colours and hues of the changing seasons. Liz is enthusiastic about her work. She uses natural materials, along with specially spun boucle wool, kid mohair and locally farmed Alpaca, which she hand-dyes in Swallow Studios, producing stunningly distinct colours. The yarns are hand-woven on wooden looms which are powered by human energy. Her scarves and wraps are hand-knotted when they come off the loom. Then they are hand-washed to bring out the luxurious softness of the fibre. Liz’s work is high quality. She makes heirloom pieces which with care and gentle handwashing will last for generations.
