Laying out four flea market silk scarves...
...and covering them with merino...
...or 'hairy' wool roving.
The squares are wetted out with soapy water...
...and rubbed and rolled for a time...
...until they form nuno pre-felts.
Next time: the cutting and piecing begins!

It is endlessly fascinating, isn't it, to see the effect of the colour of the wool on the print and vice versa...
You are going to have a lot of beautiful and exciting prefelts.. looking forward to seeing what you do with them :) xx
Rachel--Oh, yes...and wait until you see the end result. They are startlingly different!
Deborah--Hahahaha...a girl has to maintain a bit of mystery! ;)
