Happy Warm Wedding

This luxurious ivory nuno felted shawl is made of pure undyed British Wensleydale wool. One side of it is covered all over with smooth and shiny tussah silk threads, so the shawl has absolutely gorgeous combination of woolen and silk textures, supplemented with the fine white and golden lace.
This wrap is totally seamless -- the lace was felted together with wool without any stitching.
It would surely make a perfect accessory for the Winter Wedding! :-)

Approximate measurements: 150x30 cm --> 59"x11,8" without lace fringe.

The lush mittens

This is a mini collection of warm and lovely elbow length mittens decorated with pompon clusters and needle felted patterns. They are extremely cozy and chic, and what is more, they're REALLY warm - a pleasure to wear on a gloomy wintry day. Mittens are designed and hand felted by me, pompons were made by hand as well, each shaped between my palms carefully.
The Blue, Foxy and Mustard ones were made of high quality merino wool, very soft, comfortable and durable. The Natural Gray and Ivory are made of British BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) breed wool, which is not as tender as merino, but also quite soft and durable -- enjoy the pure undyed color combinations, isn't it lovely!

Measurements: length 45-47 cm --> 18,1". Width 10-11 cm lying flat. Fit palm girth up to 25 cm --> 9,4" (measuring without a thumb).

"Volga" Cowl

"The philosophy of fleece" continues with another curly cowl "Volga" in light delicate violet and shades of blue and faded green. It is double sided and can be worn in many different ways - upside down, inside out, whatever one likes it. One side is decorated all over with mulberry silk threads, though it's not only for decoration, but also for  obtaining an extremely smooth texture, shimmering and pleasant to touch. Another side has a strokes of light blue viscose on it. The size is standard, 28x30 cm --> 11"x11,8".

Curly cowls ("The philosophy of fleece") 2

"The philosophy of fleece" collection.
This is a series of cozy cowl neckwarmers, made of superfine Australian merino wool and decorated with  hand dyed fleece locks. Looks gorgeous with chunky sweaters, fur boots or uggs; it will keep one warm and protected against the wind in almost any weather, except pouring rain - it's very tightly felted hence drizzle and snow resistant. All the materials I've used fot creating this pieces are 100% natural, including the soap they were wet felted with. Unique, 100% handmade, one of a kind, soft and superwarm accessories.

Approximate measurements for all three: 28x30 cm --> 11"x11,8".

"Ultramarine"




"Leith walk"




And my favorite one: "Lettuce", merino + layers of mulberry silk threads on both sides (in fact, the cowl's double sided) = smooth, shiny and delicate texture. Lovely.

Fields of Dublin

This is a rather big wearable "canvas" with a dreamy landscape... Who's going to make the bright blue sky above Dublin, with those cute lamb-like clouds... who but me?.. The picturesque, colorful and large (really large) scarf, made to order for Lisa A., who lives relatively close to Dublin :)
50" long x 20" wide; made of superfine soft merino, decorated with dyed fleece curls.
