Pseudopodal scarf end.
The finished scarf.
Detail of sari silk, tencel, beading and embroidery.
Some months ago...
...I bought several large white wool batts from a Mennonite farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Rather than laying out each of my projects from scratch...
...I was eager to try out this pleasant shortcut!
In order to make the most of the batt's pre-formed nature...
...I fashioned a scarf by making semi-circular cuts from a long rectangle...
...and re-applying them as 'bumps'!
I also added lots of textured and colorful inclusions...
...tencel fibers, sari silk waste and wool yarn.
When it was finished, I thought it needed an extra jolt of color...
...so I hand-embroidered around the edges with multi-colored thread.
The surprising thing about this scarf is the way it fits...
...since the cutouts provide perfect little indentations for one's neck!

Unique, and I can just bet it lays very nice against the bare neck, keeping it snuggly and warm. :) Love the blotches of color and fiber too. They really dress it up. :)
Thanks, ladies!
