Two thin layers of brown roving in a long rectangle...
...and two of gold blended with sour-apple green.
As I worked...
...I placed a narrow bubble-wrap 'frame' between the outer edges of the two colors.

The finished scarf with small, gold, metal washer accents.
You'll notice that the outer edge of the yellow-green layer is free from the brown layer...
...but the two layers are otherwise felted together into one.
The finished scarf appears to be made from two separate layers...
I wanted to make a couple of men's scarves for Christmas gifts...
...and I remembered a wonderful alpaca scarf of Chad Alice Hagen's...
...in her book Fabulous Felted Scarves.
Instead of making two thin scarves in different colors and joining them with buttons after drying...
...I took a 'cheaters way out', and felted them together...except at the very edges!
The scarf is very light and soft, and I think it 'reads' visually as I had intended...
...but working with the bubble wrap 'frame' was a little fiddly.
Next time: modifications...
...and my second attempt at this type of scarf
