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).

Last year's leaves shawl, shiny tussah silk and lace

This is an absolutely magnificent handmade wrap shawl (or a large scarf)  in delicate rust ginger, chestnut and oatmeal gray, made of Brithish Bluefaced Leicester breed wool, decorated all over with thick layers of tussah silk threads on both sides. It has a smooth shiny texture, is extremely thin and lightweight, easy to drape. The shawl is double sided so it can be worn in different ways, one side is in fine rust ginger color, another's in oatmeal gray; it also has a fringe of delicate chestnut color lace.
The lace was felted together with the wool, so this shawl is totally seamless.
Extremely warm, fine and elegant at the same time. Unique and one of a kind.

Approximate measurements: 155x35 cm --> 61"x13,7".
