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".








Night over the town winter cityscape

This is a long warm woolen art scarf, made of 100% superfine Italian merino wool and decorated with tencel threads. Winter dresses the town up in festive fluffy white for the Christmas, night windows twinkle like fairy lights. Thin, soft, elegant and pleasant to touch accessoire, absolutely unique.

Approximate measurements: 181x30 cm --> 71,2"x11,8".






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.

"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).

Mistletoe xoxoxo

Merry Christmas anticipation! :)
This is the unique and totally handmade - handfelted and handstitched - set of proper winter gear, warm mittens and neckwarmer in hues of green, with bunches of mistletoe berries and leaves. It's made (wet felted) of super fine Italian merino wool. Mittens have been shaped on my own palm while still wet, so they sit comfortably. Neckwarmer has the big old reused button, it's very comfy and cozy. And IS very festive, too!


Measurements: neckwarmer is 24"x7,4".
Mittens are 9,8" long and rather S to M size, will fit palm girth up to 9,5".

Bombelki, magic polka dot bright red and navy blue handbag+scarf art set

This is a cozy large scarf + handbag art set in red - blue - light violet color combination, with those magic circles :) The set is wet felted, scarf's been made of super fine Italian merino wool, the bag is made of locally manufactured Russian troitskaya wool, for it's more sturdy than merino and won't wear out quickly. Scarf has a fringe with handmade polymer clay beads modeled by me.
The handbag actually is pretty solid and tightly felted, will keep the initial shape, is drizzle and snow resistant, perfect for all those gray dark winter days (cheer up!), furnished with a magnet button snap.

Approximate measurements:
scarf : 156x26 cm --> 61,4"x10,2" without fringe.
bag: 34x36 cm --> 13,3"x14,1".
