I remember seeing that film on TV once. I must admit it didn't inspire any textile thoughts in me, but what a wonderful idea!
I'm thinking they are orange and green, yes? I love them. The colors look great together. It's so hard sometimes, when taking photos, to get the colors to show up accurately, unless you are professional. LOL
Rachel-Hahaha..you make me laugh!
Sandie-You're right...the scarves are rust-orange (with colored specks in other colors) and variegated green.
Love the lines design! I haven't use cotton nepps.. do they felt in easily?

Deborah-The orange wool is a batt-like thing that I bought from Wollknoll. It has the colored cotton dots 'in' the batt itself...quite fun! XO-
