Felting and Fiber Studio

I saw a Knit triangle Scarf that looked interesting and thought I could do that with nuno felt.

If you would like to knit it here is the link. It is available in several languages. http://alpis-farbenrausch.blogspot.ca/p/strickanleitunen.html

I wasn’t sure of the finished length but I was thinking about 6 feet.  I cut a piece of silk 4ft by 8 ft. and then cut that corner to corner to make 2 scarves.

I cut the slits first, inserting resists to make sure they holes stayed open.

The first layer of wool was one of my own batts that I split in to thin layers.

Then more colours, well shades of purple mostly

Then I added some silk top and throwster’s waste. Mostly purples again and I used some turquoise for pop.

6 feet seems to be the right length. I think you could do it a bit smaller if you wanted or if you are petite.

All in all I am very pleased with it. I may iron the folds in to it but I haven’t decided yet. I will add a picture on the mannequin a little later. I don’t want you all to be waiting for the post, thinking I have forgotten about you.

Here is the scarf on the mannequin.

The first 2 are with the silk side out and the last 2 with the wool side out.
