Are you tired of grey autumn and cold winter? Do you want more colors and emotions?

This handmade wool scarf will bring burst of colors to your style. Contrasting combo of bright purple, gold yellow, calming green and stylish terracota is main feature of the scarf. I was really enjoying to mix colors in this scarf. And besides of all it is felted of extra-fine merino wool, so it's delecious for your skin - soft and warm. Funny fringes and holes help not to be too serious.

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.
