It's a nuno felted scarf. There is a layer of black silk voile sandwiched between the two layers of lightly felted merino tops. On one side I've added wisps of silk tops for embellishment. It's in my sea-jewel colours and I'm looking forward to wearing it. And, it was an easy enough exercise that I've already started inviting friends to come and have a go. I'm sure there's a lot more to felting than this, but it was great to have a taster and pick up a new skill. After a hectic and stressful couple of months the activity just suited my mood. So, thanks for the felting workshop! Next class is all about dyeing. That's another one to make me happy, and then, believe it or not, it will be the end of the year!

that felted wrap looks lovely...i am glad i got to see and touch the real one this time. :) i would so much like to make one with you... though due to climate difference mabe not to use as a wrap.
the colours look very different in the pic than in real life, the purple and green aspects don't come through in the pic like in the real. i could have thought it was another lovely version of it.
I'm glad you got to see the real thing. I'm still trying to crack the colour balance puzzle for my camera. I think it's just one of those things. As for needing a wrap--perhaps if there's a mountain top wedding in winter you need to be beautiful for . . . ??
Very pretty.
Thanks--btw how are you going with the Damask. I'd love to see what you come up with. C
