I love the legwarmers Diana Nagorna makes. So I decided to make a pair of my own in her style to become more experienced in working with alpaca.
Before I started I prepared as embellishment 6 pairs of spikes with a resistence in between to cut open after felting.
For the inside I used a mix of kapmerino with 50 % silk which gives me a soft feeling even when I am wearing a pantyhose.
I tried to create texture by blending in black synthetic lace and black netting, but they disappeared completely in the top layer of grey alpaca.
Finished by dipping the upper and lower part of the legwarmers in black dye.
