Long Skinny Scarf
I'd been wanting to make a long, skinny scarf...
...that could be wrapped several times around my neck...
...so that it would stay on more easily.
I liked the wool/yarn/fabric combination that I used in my last scarf...
...so I decided to do another 'riff' on it.
I laid out a grid of wool batt pieces...
...then yarn...
...then the long fabric strip (which I pieced in the center to get my desired length).
I wrapped the wool around the edges of the fabric, all around...
...then felted it in the usual manner.
I am happy with the way the yarn 'boings' out here and there...
...and how the synthetic gauzy fabric ruched up lengthwise.
Note: the burgundy wool is not as pink as it looks in the finished photo.

I think this is a scarf which will be used a lot!
Thanks, girls!
Kim-I love it that when people admire the wonderful yarn in it, I get to tell them about my special
Dutch friend!
too bad I need to confess I didn't spun it myself......
