Laying out stripes of merino roving...
...and covering them with sections of a batt...
...made from wool, blended with cotton dots.

Wetting out the project...
...and mid-way through felting.

The bold colors of the stripes...
...migrate through to the back of the scarf during felting.
The back side of the finished scarf...
...and the front side.
My letter carrier is a terrific guy...
...and I wanted to make him a useful Christmas gift...
...that could be worn to ward off the bitter cold this winter.
I laid out sections of merino roving in several colors...
...and covered them with rust-colored fiber from a blended batt.
After checking the edges and squaring things off...
...I rolled, rubbed and threw the scarf in the usual manner.
Voila...a simple and colorful scarf for a kind and hard-working man.

Efekt ciekawy. Z niecierpliwością czekam co z tego wyniknie. Pozdrawiam
Karolina--I'm afraid I've conditioned you to expect a Part 2...but with this one, what you see IS the finished project! :)
And I bet he just LOVED it! It's totally wonderful. I love the strippes. What a great idea!
Is that in Polish? Can you read it, Heather, or did you use a translator? If you read it, I am beyond impressed! Wow!
Sandie-Yes...he was very happy to receive it. :)
Elizabeth--Hahaha...no...I love Google Translate!
Looks just like that long stripy scarf the 1970s Dr Who wore!
Rachel---Hahaha...yes...same colors, but the stripes are going the wrong way!
...but now you've given me an idea for a future scarf!! XO-
