Linen Scarf, woven from the finest Italian-spun threads on antique Ruti looms at the Mungo Mill.

The unique feature of our antique looms is their shuttles. Inside each shuttle lies the yarn-wound pirn, which carries the weft threads across the warp. Pirns are loaded onto the shuttles via a magazine, before being fed onto the loom. In the case of the Linen Scarf, the pirns have been randomly loaded. This play is what gives the garment its unusual appeal, creating a unique combination of colours in the weft. The result is that no two scarves are alike, and each one bears the creative hand of the weaver. Finished with a true selvedge, a self-finished, non-fraying edge particular only to shuttle looms.
