These look fun - what did you use for fabric? Is it in between the layers of wool?

Cuffs are fun to make and wear! Are those meant to be Christmas gifts? I made some recently but used buttons as closures.

Cuffs are really fun to make and also a good way of testing new ideas because they don't take much wool. I use a resist to make them in one piece, without a closure.

I would love to see everyone's cuffs, button closures seem like such a good idea! I'm using both cheesecloth, chiffon and just plain wool (on the orange threaded one) i find if felt one side and then flip it and fold the excess you have the ability to shape your piece and a point or a wiggle or a perfectly straight line
I also do love them for practicing texture so when i get some really cool ones I'll definitely post them--anyone have a scarf or cuff with holes/dips/puckers? that's what i'm trying to achieve in my shop now.

Here are a couple I have made, the first one was using a resist as Halay mentioned and nuno-felted silk :  This one is my favourite though:  |

Terry we need to put your favourite one next to my bubble one and start a whole underwater reef themed scene.

These are coffee cuffs but would work the same way. The first photo shows them on the resist.  I was using batts because I would normally not lay them out this way. The white piece in the center is the resist. I have the cuff shape marked on it with a sharpie marker.  Here they are finished. You can read more about the process on my blog on this post |

Here's another tutorial by Ruth for using a flat resist for a seamless project. You can make your resist any shape to suit your needs. Cuffs would require a simple rectangular shape and if desired you could make two at once and simply cut in half after it's felted. This ensures a matching pair.  feltingandfiberstudio.com/2012/01/20/resist-shapes/ |
