New Samples

I’m going to do workshops at Manchester Museum of Science and Industry MakeFest in August, so I wanted to make a couple of felt samples to get an idea of how much wool I need to order for supplies. I made a 10 x 10 inch sample, using pinks, since I didn’t want to waste my nicer colours 🙂 It actually turned out alright!

The other one I made is kind of double sided. I wanted to try out some multi-coloured Merino I got from wollknoll. So one side is just ‘plain’:

And I thought I’d make the other side colourful and full of  extra bright fibres and sparkle to take with me as one of my example pieces, some people seem to be drawn to that:

These are some shiny synthetic threads I saved from a piece of fabric, which I think was synthetic habotai:

And some neon green crimped Nylon:

I also made a small sample using some Stone Sheep I bought and carded. I used some of my dyed Soy tops with it:
