A class and this and that.
I taught a Nunofelt Scarf class a couple of weekends ago. I had a fun group of ladies who were really interested in learning this technique.
Here are a couple of pictures of the setup with the ladies working on thier layout. They used hand-dyed silk blanks and Merino wool. Then there were lots of extras for them to add, lots more merino in many colours, handspun yarn, speciality wools and several types of silk, silk top, silk hankies and silk throwsters’ waist. A few brought some of thier own alpaca too.
and the scarves they were working on.
And then we were too busy enjoying the felting for me to remember to take more pictures. Well, I thought I took more pictures, but I guess I didn’t do it properly.
I had two ladies who had to leave early as they had a long drive. They worked diligently to be done before they had to leave. They did a great job, and I hope to see them again.
Here are the other 6 ladies and thier finished scarves. I am pretty sure they had a good time.
After that fun I had to get to work myself. I had to resupply The Log Farm store. They sold the last of everything during Sugar Bush. I have been busy making Dryer Balls and Felted Soap
Next are some drop spindle kits.
All 3 of these are fairly easy to put together and sell well at a relatively low price point. What do you make and sell in this price category? I have been thinking that cards with pictures of my felt might be a good idea.
One thought on “A class and this and that.”
Another successful class! Everyone happy with their creations. The scarf, of the lady in the orange striped jumper, is intriguing – it’s like a painting.
You’ve worked hard to make all those dryer balls and colourful felted soaps and you still have the drop spindle kits to assemble, but that’s not such hard physical work so you’re nearly there!
With regard to low price point – we had a stall at a small craft fair last summer and the cards we made sold out very quickly – wish we’d made more. To keep making costs down we used our scraps of felt and material to make the card front and left the insides blank ‘for your own message’. We invested in cellophane sleeves for them because they made the cards look ‘professional’ and kept them clean.
