Overfelt Wind Scarf
AIREI x Norlha - a collaboration inspired by textile experimentation and partnership with LA-based designer Drew Curry, creative director of AIREI. This double-faced scarf is made from a delicately textured yak khullu and silk-blend woven fabric that has been overfelted with pure yak khullu to give extra warmth and density. It features elongated fringing (all four sides) in contrasting black on the warp and the weft. This over-felting technique adds density, warmth and texture.
