I felt the funk today!

quality control inspector approves

Today I’m working on Nuno wool felting with silk hankies and 19.5 micron merino! I am putting together a tutorial for kits that I’ll have available for the first time at Okfiberfest, May 30 and 31, 2015.

I’ve dyed a bunch of silk hankies in gorgeous bright colors to inspire you. The wool felting kits will include everything you need except soap and water!

Tunes for a spring morning felting session? Funky Town of course!

(I can neither confirm nor deny any fabulous dance moves that may be happening on the patio…)

Color and Cohen

I’m getting ready for Okfiberfest so the dye pots are on!  I like to dye several types of fiber at once with the same color to use as the base fibers for my batts.  I start by breaking the roving into 2 oz pieces for ease of handling then I place a little rubber band on the end of each. I color code the rubber bands by fiber type so I can have merino, superwash/nylon, targhee, polwarth, etc., all in the same dye pot and still tell them apart when I’m done.

Steamy wool and steamy music!

Today’s music is Leonard Cohen.  His voice has aged like a fine scotch, so smooth and warm on a breezy spring morning.
