>From: Cheryl Eldridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Hello Cathy >Southern Alpacas have passed your email message on to me, along with the NZ >Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders Association. >I am Cheryl and my company, Stansborough Fibres wove the fabric for the >'Lord of the Rings' Movie, particularly the Elven Cloak Fabric. It is our >own design and we are also the only official merchandisers of this fabric, >The Article in the 'Spin Off' Magazine last year, was about the special and >unusual sheep we breed for our worsted fabrics. We also have a herd of >alpacas whose fibre we use for this purpose also. >We have our own commercial looms and weaving mill in >Wellington, where we process and finish all of our products from fibres >grown on our large farm. We have our own Gallery in Auckland. > >The fabric design is copyright for obvious commercial reasons and we are >sorry, but we cannot give out the actual construction of this design. We >have had many enquiries, but it is a very special design and was created by >ourselves. It is made using the natural shades of our grey sheep, >'Stansborough Gotlands' using the dark and light shades in the warp and weft >weaves. It is a three dimensional and made from our fully worsted undyed >yarns. We sometimes use our alpaca worsted yarn in combination with this >design, which works well. >The fabric is usually commercially finished for us to enhance the silky >lustre of the fibre and handle and drape of the fabric. This can change the >finished affect quite remarkable depending on the end product required. >I hope this helps with your enquiry and if you need any further help, please >do not hesitate to contact us further. >We do sell the fabric, throws, wraps and scarves direct to keen LOR >enthusiasts all over the world in this special magic,' Lord of the Rings' >Design. >Thanks for your enquiry and Happy New Year. >Regards >Cheryl To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
