Sylvia Riley’s Botanica Australis textile collection is produced through hand dyeing superfine merino wool with eucalyptus leaves and indigenous plant matter. Each piece of cloth is a little different as each leaf has its own shape and size, and placement on the fabric will vary creating unique pieces to match the individual.
Materials: Superfine merino wool jersey scarf, dyed with eucalyptus leaves.
Dimensions: (W x L) 50cm x 190cm
Care:
- To ensure longevity, handwash in cold water with pH neutral detergent for delicate fibres or wool wash
- Rinse and dry in shade
- Avoid hanging on metal rod/line as it may react with the dye
- Warm iron
Working with natural dyes and fibres, primarily silk, linen and wool, Sylvia applies practised artisanal techniques to her work with a twist, often combining her favourite disciplines - shibori, batik, gutta - to create new effects. Her work is influenced by Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics to offer beautiful lasting snapshots of the Australian bush.
