Beautiful texture and love the greens!
Ooh, nice!
Can’t wait to see the weaving…
(Have just finished knitting a cushion cover from the yarn you gave me at Christmas)

I am in awe of several hours of rolling and throwing! Well done for finishing, I like the juxtaposition of silk and wool.
I love your cushion cover.I can see the influences of the colours of Tiree there! Gorgeous sea and beach tones. Hope you enjoy the weaving assignment. I found it a bit of a challenge, but enjoyed it in the end.
great colors and textures! now on to weaving 🙂
I LOVE what you have done…inspires me!
Thanks for your comment! Beautiful cushion front, looks like a lot of hard work.
The warp I used for weaving was a thick cotton (I got it from a course at stirling castle, but I think it is orginally from fibrecrafts) and the wefts (of different thicknesses!) are axminster rug wool from texere. You have been warned 😉
Several hours of rolling ! No one realises just how much work feltmaking is.
Lovely work.
Just so heart-achingly gorgeous. I would love to make something this beautiful.
A cushion? Did I just realize you said – a cushion? Puh-leeze, no! This is a work of art and really should be hung on a wall. I mean, obviously it is your business, not mine, or anyone else’s. But, really – it is too, too precious to be relegated to cushion status. 🙂
