Wool roving, mohair waste and Angelina...plus other 'mystery fibers'.
Wetting out the scarf...I left some circular sections bare of fiber.
Starting to roll the scarf.
I was in a playful mood the other day...
...and I wanted to use some of my odd bits and bobs of fiber in a new way.
So I cut a nuno scarf base of undyed silk gauze...
...and just started applying any fibers which struck my fancy!
After rolling for quite a while, some of the fibers weren't adhering very well...
...so I yanked them off and considered my options.
I could have left it as it was...
....but as the gauze was both un-hemmed, and un-dyed , it seemed a little...erm...unfinished-looking to me.
Then I remembered that I had once dyed a scarf with powdered turmeric...
...and I knew just what I wanted to do!
Next time: the finished scarf in all of its marigold vibrancy!

nuno felt is really amazing !
Looks good so far! I cannot wait to see the dye job!
Another beautiful piece of art. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to see what the turmeric does as I've been seriously thinking about dying some fiber with turmeric. I'll be interested in how you did it for sure. Have a happy Friday!
Really looking forward to the turmeric-dyed version - what a splendid idea!
So interesting! Unfortunately, I am ignorant when it comes to the wool roving,(have tried felting once and need more instruction)but would love to learn more about it...but the colors and the texture are beautiful.
heather you're teasing us!
I am loving this one! I can't wait to see the completed scarf!
Thanks, ladies! I really love the color, too, now that it's dyed.
ooooh! I can't wait! I want to take some felting classes or have felting play dates so I can make beautiful scarves like this.
Andrea--You know you're always welcome to come here for a visit and some felting fun!! XXO-
Oh wow, I love it so far and I can't wait to see the finished result!!!
