Cobwebs, clouds and poplar leaves



This is my brand new "Head in the clouds" scarf, made out of sky blue Merino wool and undyed silk cocoons. Approximate measurements: 179x23 cm ---> 70,4"x9".





And this is just a cobweb. It's made of British Wensleydale breed wool. Fibers of this wool are extremely long, glossy and curly. Decorated with strokes of golden Muga silk. It is huge, 240x30 cm ---> 94,4"x11,8".





This scarf is called "Poplar", it's made of mint color superfine Merino and decorated with patches of delicate green Margilan silk. It also has got those shimmering Mulberry silk threads.

Curly Cowl, oatmeal

This one is an elegant seamless hand felted cowl in shades of gray, very warm and cozy. It was made out of British Bluefaced Leicester wool and tussah silk, and decorated with gorgeous undyed Wensleydale fleece locks. It is extremely soft and easy to drape, also double sided -- one side is wool, another is shimmering silk, the absolutely adorable smooth texture. All the materials I've used are 100% natural, including the soap this piece was wet felted with.

Measurements: 26 cm w x 30 cm h --> 10,2" w x 11,8" h, rather S-M size.
Fringe locks are 10-12 cm --> 3,9"-4,7" long.

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".

"Finnish winter" set in oatmeal and mild milky white

I suppose it'd be a perfect gift for Father Christmas to feel warm and cozy all through his most busy time of the year. A pair of handmade wet felted winter gear. All pure raw and natural, thick and superwarm, they are made of undyed british BFL (bluefaced leicester sheep) and South American breeds sheep wool, in the oatmeal and mild milky white colors.
Perfect for skiing, skating, snowball bombing and other winter outdoor activities, as an ideal protection from wind, frost and snow (very tightly felted hence snow resistant!). Cute hand felted handmade pompons are fun and look like snowballs or bunches of frozen winter berries or mistletoe.

The scarf fixes with a small "tail" which goes through the hole, so it sits comfortably and doesn't throw open (there're two holes for different sizes or preferences).




Approximate measurements: 177x30 cm ---> 69,6"x11,8" with the tail.
Pompons are approximately 2,5 cm ---> just about 1 inch.



Mittens measurements: 26 cm long 11 cm wide ---> 10,2" long 4,3" wide. Size XS-S,
fit palm girth up to 22 cm --> 8,6" (measuring without thumb).
