This is the 3rd Cheetah scarf I have woven over the last 10 years or so. Each one is different and in this one I have selected parts of the Cheetah’s coat that caught my eye in the inspiration photo, which are the spots in their various sizes on its body, the lines on its face that I always think look like tear marks, and the stripes around the tail. The scarf is woven in 100% silk yarns; the warp is a 3 ply Japanese silk dyed black and the weft yarns are 30/2s Chinese silk dyed with natural dyes except for the deepest orange colour. The dimensions are 11” x 71”, plus the tasselled fringe at either end.
