t.e. 197another plaid

Not fully completing the staining process and dyeing in a machine that has not been rinsed, saves us both water and dye. A single wool bobbin will be turned into a single plaid with its own unique colour pattern and markings. The merino wool plaid shows plenty of contrast and clear markings. It incorporates a range of colours.

By abstracting the 1st step in the industrial process that normally sees for an equally dyed bobbin, each plaid varies in drawing and colour.
