Making a Felted Scarf

First start with your chosen fibre, this time I was given a small 50 grams of two different pinks and a yellow merino fibre plus some glitter and angelina.
From Tasmania house of Fibre. www.tasmaniafibre.com

I work in my garage on two tables to make the length I require.
Lay plastic to protect your tables.
Using material as my template for the size of my working scarf I laid that on the table.
Using random colours of felt (on top of my template) I laid out the edges then filled in with swirls and spikes and whatever, to fill most the inside.
Then I used glitter and angelina to highlight spots.
I found in my stash a suitable yarn and laid that on top
Cover with a nylon material as this will hold the laid out scarf ready for felting


Using Hot soapy water drizzle over it all and rub gently at first with a plasic bag in your hand. Keep rubbing until you feel it has slightly felted. Lift nylon and look at scarf and touch and repair any places that need it.
Replace nylon and rub for many times.
Lift nylon and then remove scarf of under template.
The scarf is now ready for the throwing which I do in this process instead of using a bamboo blind. Throwing many times and then looking at it and throw again till it is ready. Holes will form but that is what I was after.
When I am happy I rinse well and final in fabric softner.
Hang to dry and when dry, iron carefully.Its now ready to show it off and wear and hope someones says ."thats a lovely scarf, Did You make It ?" "Yes"
