Felted Wearable Art Wrap



Hi Everyone!
It's felting season and this is my latest felted silk scarf. First I wet felted fibers into a skinny scarf using fleece, yarns, silk bits and other fibers, sandwiched between fusible webbing. After needlepunching it using my Babylock Embellisher, I placed the scarf in water to remove the webbing.  Voila -- it disappears!

After drying, it was nunofelted with a sheer chiffon aqua scarf, then dried in the sun.
Here's a closeup of the fibers and fleece:








This scarf is instantly warm, light and very flowy. Scarf measures 66" long by 16" wide. Definitely a conversation piece. Everyone will say to you: "Where did you get that?"

Visit my Global Knits Etsy Shop to purchase it or browse at my other fiber art pieces.

Announcing Global Knits

Well, after thinking it over again and again, I decided it was time to go global, so I changed my Etsy shop name from PA Fiberartist to Global Knits. It was time to change the name to something new and current -- and Global Knits kept popping into my head.

There will be a new shop banner ordered today from a photographer on Etsy based in Poland named Bialakura and it will be uploaded to the shop hopefully in the next few days. I hope you like the new name, banner, and continue to visit my Etsy shop!

Here is my latest felted scarf. It was nunofelted combining a Thai silk blue scarf, blue and purple fleece, and silk pieces onto a black, very soft, prefelted background. I then needlepunched the entire scarf with my Babylock Embellisher. There is an added kilt pin with strips of hand-dyed silk ribbon and scrim (hand-dyed in England).

It's very soft and comfortable. Definitely, wearable art!

Nunofelting Again

This scarf is called Monet's Garden. It's made with silk chiffon and dyed merino sheep fleece.







Here's a mocha, cocoa, creme brulee, toffee with hints of root beer silk wide scarf with similar merino fleece pieces felted into the silk threads.



This is a mauve sheer silk chiffon scarf with aubergine and moss green fleece meandering throughout. It's light and warm!



I will be posting other pieces from my collection very soon.
Please stop by again.
Au Revoir!
