Osage Orange celulose meets Cedar chip protein


Here, laid out on a stone patio is my first attempt at a long stole. The 'nuno' or ground material was dyed using Osage Orange to give it its golden yellow-orange hue. The yellowish collaged fleece on top was dyed using cedar chips found on the floor from a wood carver at last year's Circle Craft Market, while the grey, navy and burgundy were dyed with acid dyes.

The dyeing happened in a little house on the north end of Salt Spring. It was felted in a garden in the south of the island.

Bundles of joy

After dyeing the fabric, I chose coordinating fleece from my stash. I laid all the fibre out and made up colourful packages that I can open up and begin the felting process with. One package contains the ingredients for up to three scarves.

Excited!
