The Avoca WARP Vertically Fringed Merino Scarf, Navy combines understated elegance with
exceptional Irish craftsmanship. Vertical fringing transforms this all-navy merino scarf into
something quietly striking, while the beautifully woven reversible herringbone adds depth, texture,
and timeless appeal. Inspired by a traditional mill technique, where long woven lengths of fabric
were once stretched on tenterhooks, this contemporary design offers effortless style with a refined
finish. New for the Avoca AW26/27 season, Part of the Warp Collection from Avoca, and Made at the
historic Avoca Mill in Avoca, County Wicklow, Ireland, it is a versatile accessory that blends
heritage, comfort, and modern sophistication.
The Warp collection honors Ireland's rich textile history. It celebrates the historic Avoca
Handweavers wool mill, which has been operating since 1723. The collection uses high-quality merino
wool to create scarves that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern, bright designs. In
weaving, the warp threads are held stationary and taut on a loom. These vertical threads run up and
down to form the strong base of the fabric. The weft threads are then woven across them, moving
side to side. This simple over-and-under interlacing creates all woven textiles.
