Machine felted scarf today...

Had a very busy day today but still managed to make the time to make another free-machine embroidery felted scarf. This one is a gift for the wife of my husband's colleague. Barb has been sending little gifts of lovely tastes from home to us each time her husband has to visit Italia. Those yummy little taste sensations that remind us of New Zealand.

This one is made of about 25 strands of fibre; wool, synthetic 'eyelash', fluffy, cotton, cashmere, angora, and one with a few sequins attached. I stuck to shades of blue and purple with some black as a base. There's a hint of lime green and hot pink just to mix things up and highlight the main colours. The whole things is stitched with black thread to tone it down.

Hope Barb likes the scarf...
