Laying out layers of bright blue, superfine merino roving...
...and adding a dyed tussah silk border at each end.
The piece, drying, after making it into a pre-felt.

After separating it into two pieces, lengthwise...
...I made additional cuts at each end for a 'fringe'.

Preparing for the final felting.
One large decorated pre-felt =

Notice the wiggly texture of the silk fibers.
Using brightly-colored superfine merino roving...
...and a handful of dyed tussah silk (in pale, sour apple green)...
...I created two soft-as-butter scarves for holiday giving.
The silk adds a shimmery bit of light to the ends of each scarf...
...and the special roving allows for warmth and against the skin comfort. :)

Looking very good, and with cold and wild weather they will be very welcome gifts!
Rachel-Yes...We've finally been getting seasonal weather, and it's definitely time for a scarf.:)
Good way to do with silk on ends. It does add shining. You're thoughtful to have done lots for presents. Touch of love.
Terriea--Yes...there's lots of love in each gift! :)
