More Cobweb Felt Scarves




I love the sheen the bombyx adds to the matte merino wool on these cobweb felt scarves. Everything is getting polka dots these days. It must be polka dot season.
Normally I only make one of a kind items, but I just had to keep this scarf so I made another one like it to sell at the DHS craft fair in Denton, TX. The wool was dip dyed and ranges from a bright scarlet to a deep burgundy. The polka dots are prefelt laid on top of the red roving.

Sample Bag from Class

Recently my sister wanted to learn how to felt a purse using a resist. I made this small bag in the process. It has a small felted pocket inside for a driver's license or something else small. It is made from merino wool.

Pink Ombre

Pink and white polka dots with wool and silk ombre effect. The silk is dip dyed and the wool is three shades of pink blended to a nice fade.

Nuno Felting on Upcycled Fabric

This is an upcycled skirt with embroidery and beads nuno felted with polka dots. Searching out interesting silk fabric to upcycle is a treasure hunt. This skirt with it's embroidery and beadwork was a real find.

Each polka dot is a small felt ball of merino wool. I added an ombre effect to the length of the scarf in the yellow.
