Announcement
Welcome to Joni Cornell Merino-Silk Apparel where you will find luxury hand-made merino-silk scarves, wraps, jackets and vests.
These beautiful items combine the practicality of merino wool with the opulence of silk to give you the softest, lightest and most supple fabric. Whether the roving is worked to produce a painterly effect, or silk pieces are incorporated for complexity and contradiction, the finished apparel is rich in its development and appearance.
Over the past ten years I’ve researched, developed and practiced my technique of marrying the wool and silk together. My wedded fabrics describe a finish where the wool and silk are virtually homogenized and visually inseparable. These wedded fabrics combine to form their own unique merino-silk material. My floating fabrics describe a finish where some of the sari silk, or China silk, is allowed to gather or ruche and seemingly float over the underlying material giving it a completely different appearance. (See the "About" page for some photograph examples).
Please look around and you will find more information about me and my processes, the shop and the shop policies on the relevant pages.
Cheers
Joni

I live surrounded by forests of Mountain Ash. When I am working in my studio I’m accompanied by the sound of the waterfall cascading into the goldfish pond; parrots and rosellas feeding in summer or mist rolling by on winter days.
