"Phoenix" warm and colorful bright orange nunofelted wrap shawl

"The phoenix is described as a bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self." Wiki

This cozy and large wrap shawl is dedicated to the mythological bird.. It has been handfelted from soft, top quality Italian merino wool, using patches of hand dyed Margilan silk. It's decorated with the variety of shiny Tussah silk threads, fleece locks and colorful yarn. It also has lovely rich and very spectacular texture, and is actually very warm.

Approximate measurements: 160x27 cm ---> 62,9"x10,6".

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".
