Felt is the world’s oldest textile made by the compression of wool which has the unique ability to ‘glue’ to itself. Early samples have been found in Asia buried in the permafrost. This non-woven textile is formed by moisture, warmth and friction, forcing the fibres to mat together.
Like silk, wool is a sustainable renewable resource. All the felt here is created using pure wool. Compared with using silk, I am relatively new to felting, but I have found that the best way to treat these garments is NOT to use the washing machine. Wash gently in warm water with soap flakes or similar mild soap recommended for woollens, rinse well and roll in a towel several times to blot away excess moisture. Dry flat if possible. Felt boas and anything with surface texture should not be ironed. Just shake gently when almost dry and before wearing.

Cream Shawl
Scrummy crunchy and a bit shaggy, whisper soft white Merino wool with texture from curly Wensleydale - no, not the cheese, but the rare breed endangered Wensleydale sheep. Enormously long, as usual there are several ways to wear it. Not just to keep you cosy and warm, but to give elegance to any outfit. Especially great for evenings.

Cream Wrap
Erm, yes, I know, this looks a bit like the one above. But it's definitely one of a kind. I keep saying I make these things as individuals and sometimes they get a bit, well, like shirty adolescents. They take on a life of their own. This grew very long front tails and has a sheen about it. As well as the Wensleydale, it has silk fibre inserts and a very definite personality. Wear it with the long fronts down, tossed over each shoulder, wrapped around, as an off the shoulder stole over a low strappy evening dress ... you get the picture, I'm sure.
