Cape du chocolat

Inspired by FRY'S Turkish Delight Bar. It is a turkish delight sweet covered with milk chocolate, commonly found in milk bars in Victoria. I thought instead of indulging in one of my favourite sweets, I could indulge in wearing one!

 

The cape is made with layering technique where I would layer chocolate brown polwarth wool fibres with pieces of metallic creamy coloured lace, the softest pink alpaca fleece, pale pink mohair yarn and then embellished over with tussah silk fibres! This cape is a saga of complexity in itself..creating a luxuriously warm and oh so soft texture for wearing over one's shoulders. You could wear this over and over again , creating different looks as the cape changes as it turns from side to side or inside out or wearing it in different ways.
