Since I have moved to new house out of megapolis I have great opportunity to make pictures outside. Here are two of them. You may see how beautiful winter we have this year - much snow and frost.
Scarves are available in my shop.

Wool felted scarf Eco color natural
Jul 17, 2010
Eco friendly fashion - natural dyed women scarves
These two different scarves are hand felted and plant dyed. One plant - two different colors on wool and silk.
How to dye - take onion skin (approx. equal weight as weight of your wool or silk). Boil it during 1-2 hours, filter, add your material and steam during 1-1.5 hours. Rinse and dry.
This scarf is felted of extra-fine merino wool on light cotton fabric as a base (nuno-felting technic). Then dyed with onion skin with added vinegar. The color is rusty-brown. Cotton almost did not take dye and this gives interesting stripe effect.
In same dye bath I dyed silk for other scarf. The color is light beige. I felted this scarf of dyed silk and white prefelt.
