Do you remember the scarf samples I posted about in October. I laid the pieces out on the template, and overlapped them in places for a bit more texture. Then I chose some 18. 5 mic Merino in similar colours and matched the wool layout to the scrim.

The journey of a new designer-maker. A City and Guilds qualified felt maker, I love the magic of turning a pile of fluffy wool fibre into beautiful and functional fine felt and exploring new textile techniques. Thursday, 6 August 2015. I am still working on the hat tutorial but as a little diversion I allowed myself to start a new felt hanging over the weekend. I used a piece of rainbow dyed prefelt for the base and laid out various resists in a flower pattern.
