A 'Less Fraught With Difficulty' Scarf

My pre-felt pieces hanging up for a final drying.
 


Four colors of pre-felt, separated by layers of plastic wrap.
 


The finished scarf.
 


Both of my new scarves...wild and wiggly!
 


As promised, here are photos of the second scarf that I made...

...using the method that Clasheen showed me during her visit.

This time, I used garden-variety plastic wrap from my kitchen...

...and sandwiched it between the layers (not on the top or bottom of the stack).

I cut the plastic wide enough to really separate the layers...

...and I was able to sew through it (and later rip it out) quite easily.

As you might have noticed...

...these two scarves are quite wild-looking, compared to my orange one.

But as my friends might tell you...

...wildness suits me just fine!!! Giggle.

If you prefer the more bulb-like 'fringe ends' of the orange scarf, however...

...just trim each of your pre-felts to a neat, 4-inch width before stacking and sewing.

You may also want to stick to using four layers of one color of pre-felt...

...if you want the scarf to disguise it's layered origins!

I'm sure I'll try another one of these scarves in the not-too-far-distant future...

...so make sure to write and tell me if you try one and have any good tips to share!!
