Tender spring

This is a couple of delicate spring shawls, lightweight and easy to drape; thin, soft and tender yet comfortably warm.
They're made out of pure undyed margilan silk and undyed British Bluefaced Leicester wool. The silk is very fine and soft, covered with thin layer of lovely ivory color wool. Picturesque flowers are woolen, too.

Approximate measurements: shawl 146x38 cm --> 57,4"x14,9"; bactus 52 cm (top to botton) x100 cm --> 20,4" (top to bottom) x39,3".

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".

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".








Curly cowls ("The philosophy of fleece")

Part of "The philosophy of fleece" collection. Two loop collar scarves decorated with splendid fleece curls. Approximate size - 32-34x34 cm., square.

-- Those are undyed white wensleydale fleece locks wet felted together with lovely chocolate color alpaca wool. Alpaca is usually extra soft and tender, but also might be hairy. This one has a thick layer of golden tussah silk on it so it's texture becomes smooth and shiny. Both scarves are seamless.





-- This one is made of extrafine Itaian merino, with hand dyed - absolutely lovely! - long and shiny wensleydale curls. The blue ones reach length up to 15 cm. Decorated with multicolor woolen yarn on the outside. Wild and adorable.
