Continuing to explore

These are my first two attempts at needle felting on random swatches remaining from machine knit experiments. Both pieces measure “postcard” 4X6 inches. The scale restriction requires thinking in a new way for me, and provides a different way to play with my yarn stash and found objects. It is not clear if any of these techniques will be incorporated into my clothing and accessories, or simply be an end in themselves. Collage lace with some of the same fibers is also on my list of “must try”.

The last reversible chenille sweater

This is the end piece in a series. Fiber content: 2 strands of 3,000 yards per pound chenille and an ultra thin ribbon of tencel, tactel. Garment may be worn either side out. It’s ruffled edge was joined
onto the sweater body as it was knit.
