I love felting, particularly Nuno felting which is an innovative Japanese felting technique that combines wool and fabric. This type of felt is made by hand attaching very fine wool fibers to silk.The resulting felt is light weight and has excellent drape and flexibility. It combines the lightness of silk with the warmth and funkiness of unspun wool. As well as felt I love shibori, but FELT comes FIRST Joy Ivill

I made a red scarf today, great colour
Peter's mad about this scarf, I made it out of red fibre, put round objects under the felt for texture, added some ribbons of silk georgette and lots of silk strands for a luxurious touch, it turned out well, I'm very pleased with it, here is a photo of me in it and then some close ups which are interesting.
