What I do and don’t do
I do weave. I don’t felt.
Remember this sample scarf?
Really like it. Cream mohair. Slubby gold and olive yarn. Quite yummy, but not a good match to my ‘I’m-no-longer-a-brunette’ colouring. But….it would look nice with Holly’s new Christmas coat. Right, impromptu-for-no-reason gift…which is sometimes the best kind, really.
And then, what to my wondering eyes did appear after I gave her the woven scarf? This lovely beauty came to me…
Deep purple and rose hues. Quite a nice match to my ’sans-brunette’ palette. Yippee! You can visit her blog for more details about making this scarf (cuz I’m not a felter, remember?)
The cool thing about this spontaneous scarf exchange is my non-felting doesn’t prevent me from having cool felted accessories.
crafty friends are a wonderful thing!

OK, now that felt is just way over the top of what I’m used to seeing from felt - as in, when you knit up some natural fiber & throw it in the wash. What an awesome exchange!

Ohhh, those are both so lovely.

I’ve seen both in person…both scarves are gorgeous…hmmm weaving/felting a symbiosis???
