I really enjoy looking at all the creative and beautiful yarns that people are making.....it is so amazing to see how the wool changes once it gets spun. I havent done any spinning for a while, but I have been busy with other things, so here is a sample of some of the things I have been working on lately.
These little "bags"are made of local sourced Romney wool and then felted and decorated with various materials.
Then there is a few new scarfs to the collection, all made with Mandie's beautiful wool.
This first scarf is made with Mandie's Mulled Wine Merino top, and I have added a little bit of angelina for sparkle, though it doesn't show up on the picture.
And then there is the "jacket "that I have been wanting to make for a long time, I just needed the time and the "right" wool to come along. It is made on gauze, with a little bit of white,light green,pink and a moss green merino tops, covered with Mandie's Meridian 2 top. It is not quite finished, I want to put a silk or maybe a velvet binding around the edge, but i have to find the right colour first.

And then last but not least, the two scarfs that I HAD to make yesterday when I received the bamboo tops from Mandie, Private dusk is on the black scarf, and Tally limit is used on the red scarf.
Well I think that is it for this time...

wow...amazing felted work. the jacket is beautiful and the little "bags" are pretty!
Maria, these are truly beautiful. Keep sharing, I love to see how the fibres are being used, other than spinning. (Nothing wrong with spinning, of couse!)
Thank you Naomi and Margaret.As you say there is nothing wrong with spinning, and I do get around to doing a little bit of it every so often, but this is my passion for the moment.
Cheers Maria
Even though I am confirmed spin-a-holic- I so enjoy seeing all the forms the fibre from EGMTK! takes on..
that jacket is just too beauitful for words. And the scarf above it is once again amazing- that two-sided felt method... I would like to learn that one day! :)
Thanks for sharing!
Your felted works, particularly the jacket, which I would love to do, are all gorgeous.
