On Sunday 5th October I’ll be teaching a lacy cobweb felt scarf workshop at Gisburn and thought you might like to see one of the samples for this workshop. Usually I work with the wool in a top form but decided to try and use up more of my stash, so chose to work with remnants of carded Merino in various colours.
I was thinking subtle colour changes but it’s not quite how it came out. Using carded fibre is fun to layout for this kind of scarf and enabled me to include a lot of colours and shades very easily.
This is the reverse of the scarf where you can see I have a mix of red, pink and orange with small amounts of natural coloured Tussah silk.
The front of the finished scarf with lots of Tussah silk along it’s length. I wasn’t sure about the purples at the end when I was laying it out but I wanted to use only remnants and now it’s done I love it.
There’s another example of lacy felt on it’s way in a day or two and if you fancy making one for yourself I still have space on the workshop.
