Not a clue, Ruth. It needs work--additional fulling, for sure (my arms gave out yesterday). And after that? All ideas are welcome!

I did a little more dyeing on Friday, soy and milk. I started to make plans for other fibre packs, but got another migraine aura yesterday, I'm just waiting for the vertigo to kick in today. I think it's time to admit defeat and accept limitations otherwise I'll never be well enough for stuff I really do enjoy. If I'm going to have boxes of stuff which never sells it may as well be felt as fibres, eh?

Feel better Zed. Don't push yourself. Do it when you have the energy. You can build a little inventory that way. No pressure that way. And if they don't sell, you can make something wonderful out of them. :-) With all these classes you're teaching you may find some help or customers. Hang in there!

It's still stunning Carole! Nuno can be fiddly. Great job!

It is beautiful Carole. I think you are doing great with nuno.

The colors are stunning, Carole. Why not merino instead of silk? Have you ever bought any of the combined fiber packs (merino and tussah). Those are wonderful! But no reason to do that if you can card them yourself either by hand or machine.
I must admit I struggled with nuno in the beginning, and it was awhile before I felt really successful at it. Keep going!

Thank you for your encouragement,I used merino and silk down the long edges, and it was fine and even some of the plain silk fibre was fine but not all - back to the drawing board :-)

Your scarf is quite pretty. The flowers are nice and I just love the blue color. Blue is one of my favorite colors.

I've pulled off the silk fibres and will add more fo the blue instead, I don't own a carder so it's precarded silk and merino for the edge
