Weaving and Felting

I wove two scarves (one for me and one for Andrew) for my latest weaving project. The project involved loosely weaving the scarves and then hand-felting them after they came off the loom. They are both wool and as they were worked with soap, hot water and friction, they shrunk, becoming softer and thicker. Here they are on the loom, pre-felted and then finished, around our lovely necks!

Jessica you are such an amazing person and the things you do with clothe, thread, yarn...are so beautiful. I hope that sometime in the future I will have a chance to learn some cool projects from you. David and I can't wait to see you guys, hopefully over Christmas, right? :-)
