Nuno felt shawl workshop 羊毛戟絨披肩製作班

In a March Sunday afternoon, still cool and good to run a nuno felt shawl making workshop.   Organised by Pottery Stall Studio, here come my students' shawls.......

香港的三月天仍有點寒意, 今日在 Pottery Stall 缸瓦舖  的羊毛戟絨披肩製作班, 同學的製作還派用場. 四小時的體力勞動也正是修身健體, 同學們可累了 !?

A silk chiffon base with some merino wool and Teeswater long fleece........ 

With some wild fleece to make the textural surface..... 

 A black chiffon with some merino wool and mulberry silk to make the nuno felt wrap.  Looks like clouds ?

A shawl with textural colar is what I wanted to teach.  

Making in the progress ........ 

 Layering wool...

OMG, the black chiffon was breeding.  How irritated to have bought this !  Next time I must wash it beforehand. 

The Teeswater long fleece is good for textural effect.  The 4-hour workshop seems too much for the ladies.  They're exhausted after the layering, rubbing, fulling....... They said it was a class of physical exercise to loose weight.

  Come on ladies, do a lot and to have a fit form.

Reversible raw fleece vest 雙面羊毛背心

 Fall is around.  Feeling well and felting good.  During the 4-day long weekend, I made two vests with raw fleece. 一連四日悠閒假期, 藉著秋高氣爽, 開始我的羊毛背心製作, 也是新款式的嘗試, 用的大部份是未經處理的 Finn 及 Wenslaydale 原毛, 這是我很喜愛做冬日衣物的羊毛.  做了一件雙面背心及一件大碼背心 .

 This short one is reversible.  I used the nuno felt skill so in between is a chiffon that's a nice way to do the seamless wearable.  One side is mainly of Finn fleece and Wensleydale fleece. More textural, wild and curly locks I love most.

 The other side is of merino wool,  colar with curly locks.  

 Could be a warm vest with curly locks.

 Steps of making : First layered merino wool on both sides, then the  Finn and Wenslaydale fleece.

 Since the raw fleece are quite muddy and the wool needs lots of water, I have to do this in the open yard.

 Mogi examinated my layering.  He's a great helper ! 

 After the "rock n roll" for sometime, it's done.

 A pin of ceramic sheep is a good match.

 Hmmmmm, my laptop.....

Am I too slim or Mogi is huge ?! 

 This fluffy is warm enough.

 What so yummy?

Two vests made, one is large size and mine is small.

 Love this one, reversible with two looks.

"Mum, you  indulged too much time in your own stuff.  You should make me something next time."
