"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".

Dandelion valley

This is a beautiful picturesque wet felted scarf made of superfine Italian merino and decorated with Mulberry silk threads, tencel threas and silkworm cocoons. Very lightweight, soft and pleasant to touch. All the materials I've used are 100% natural and eco friendly, including the olive soap this piece was wet felted with. Tender and dreamy.
Approximate measurements: 128x38 cm --> 50,3"x14,9".

Lazy summer alpaca wool tote bag


...Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee ;)

This one of a kind bag is wet felted* out of alpaca wool of the natural white colour. Has chiffon silk layer inside, organically rubbed into the wool.
Pictures of butterflies are on both sides, they’re woolen as well, decorated with silk threads; wooden handles attached to the bag with colourful braids. Very hairy and easy going :^)
Measurements: 43 cm wide x 44 cm tall (16,9 inches wide x 17,3 inches tall).


*This process involves using wool roving - merino, alpaca, or might be as well of some other animal, some blends of various colours, raw wool curls, silk threads - laying out the roving in thin layers in the desired shape, wetting it with soapy water, rolling it in a towel or bamboo rug and rubbing and rolling by hand to shape the felt. Takes lots of strenght, yep ;)
