I had another wonderful day teaching some ladies to nuno felt scarves.

I was busy ( talking) and didn’t take as many pictures as I would have liked at the beginning. So no pictures of the starting silk. I dye the blanks myself using the scrunch method of low-immersion MX dying. I learned how to form Paula Burches All about hand dyeing site. It is an amazing site. Don’t go unless you have some time to explore, there is so much information.  http://www.pburch.net/dyeing.shtml 

If you click any of the pictures they should open up larger in a new tab.

Back to the class, here are the layouts just before we wet them down.

and then everyone got rubbing. This is the time it’s great to have a chatty group. It makes the work go faster. And I don’t have to do all the talking.

Sorry, no rolling pictures. The problem with a chatty group is I love to chat too and forget to take pictures.

But I do have some pictures of the finished scarves once all the fulling was done.

One of the ladies went home and dried her scarf so she could wear it right away. Doesn’t Kim look great? The colours really suit her.

Denice also sent me a picture of hers when it was dry. I love the silk flowers.

It was a fun day for everyone.

I taught a short sheep class the other day. They were young people so just one picture of the finished sheep.
