Upcycled Extra Long Wool Scarf

This scarf was formerly a sweater!

I purchased it from the Salvation Army, washed and felted it, cut it up, and serged it together to make a long, soft scarf!

You can wear it tied French style, wrapped around a few times for a nice look, or totally wrapped into a neck warmer.

It's was a fair isle style, soft merino wool, chocolate brown with natural landscape colors knit throughout.

Thank you for looking!

The Felting Life

Back in the late 1980s, I took a course in felting, but who knew back then that felting would become a popular artform today?

The method that I learned was called "wet felting," but today there are other types of felting: felting from knitted pieces, recycled sweaters, and needle felting, which has become a new artistic medium.

Here are some of my needle felted pieces.
