It’s a rare movie tie-in product that’s worth a second look. But a new line of scarves and sashes inspired by “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is a different story entirely.

To make the fabric for the fanciful costumes in the film, Disney’s costumers looked to the New Zealand sheep and alpaca farm Stansborough Fibres. “We wove Mr. Tumnus’s scarf. We supplied them with wool to make Lucy’s beret and several of the cardigans, as well as all the centaur’s costumes,” the owner of Stansborough Fibres, Cheryl Eldridge, said.

Ms. Eldridge, together with her husband Barry, then took the costume fabrics and created a line of new accessories – inspired by the film, but designed for consumers. “Not everyone wants the whole child’s costume,” she said. “So we’ve developed a line of scarves and wraps and throws from the same fabric.”

This, however, is not the first time products from Stansborough Fibres have been seen on the big screen. The hobbits’ capes in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy came from the farm, as did several costumes for the BBC period production “Kidnapped.”

This tiny concern has become popular with costume designers for two reasons: quality and (limited) quantity. The wool comes from a rare breed of sheep called the Stansborough Grey, whose coats are known for a silky texture. It took nearly 10 years to breed the Stansborough Grey sheep, and the Eldridges have exclusive access: These are the only sheep of this breed in the world. “We bred them as a fiber breed rather than pelt breed,” Ms. Eldridge said, adding that a pelt breed uses the skin of the animal.

The raw fleece is naturally gray, and part of Ms. Eldridge’s work is to sort it by hand into three shades. Some of the fleece remains gray, as for the capes in “The Lord of the Rings.” Others are dyed to specifications, as in the case of costumes for “Narnia.” “Some have more gold or more red. Some have more texture, a tighter or looser weave. They’re all quite different, even the centaurs,” Ms. Eldridge said.

With wool of such high quality, product runs are often small. But that works for Hollywood – which only needs fabric for a few costumes at a time – and the farm, which is geared toward creating small batches of handmade products. And even though some fabric was intended to clothe rare beasts of imagination, Ms. Eldridge can repurpose it for consumers: “Some of fabric from the centaurs would make lovely table runners because they have a lot of texture.”

Stansborough Fibres obtained the licenses to sell a wide variety of merchandise for both “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Chronicles of Narnia.” So if a Narnia T-shirt doesn’t do it for you, maybe a beautifully woven scarf will.

Scarves and other accessories inspired by the respective movies start at $70. Available at www.stansborough.co.nz.
