About this Product

Lyon Handwovens
Meet the Maker
Lyon Handwovens is a fusion of my early love of all things textile, a two decade career in environmental consulting, followed by another decade in quality. This fusion has resulted in narrowing my focus in weaving to using sustainable yarns (wool, cotton, silk) up-cycled materials (VHS tape, commercial carpet yarn, plastic shopping bags) and repurposed fabrics (dead stock and remnants from professional decorators, estate sales, thrift shops). Sustainability, like most things is not static and this journey I'm on will require ongoing adjustments, new paths and learning from others. I hope you'll check in periodically to see how my journey is progressing.
How it’s Made
This cowl originally was designed to be a scarf similar to another scarf minus the eye lash yarn, but somewhere about half the imagined length I decided that a V-neck cowl was this scarf's real destiny. The weave and the fringe both beg for attention - a full length scarf would have been too busy for anyone to truly appreciate the riot of color and texture. So, now you know one of the trade secrets of weavers, we sometimes make decisions and changes in our designs, on the fly, because our projects speak to us and demand change.
