“I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world…”

~ What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong

My longing for spring can be expressed only in green!:-)

This pair of arm warmers is made of Australian and New Zealander extra-fine merino wool in cypress green, green-turquoise, mustard yellow and yellow colours. Additionally mulberry silk threads in green-turquoise are used to decorate them and to offer a shiny effect. Their edges are uneven and they can be worn inside out; one side covered with the patterning that you see on the photos and the other simply with green wool. Each of them is asymmetrical in shape and they can be worn till the middle part of the hand as half gloves.

“My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart

You’re looks are laughable
Un-photographable
Yet, you’re my favorite work of art…”

~ My funny Valentine by Chet Baker

This nuno-felted shawl is created from cotton gauze fabric in orange colour and extra-fine merino wool from New Zealand in deep red, white, pink, dark green, apple green and yellow. The cotton fabric is loosely woven thus creating the impression of a net. Weaving these different materials together with the wet-felting technique a wrinkle effect is produced. The distinction between this nuno-felted scarf and a simple wet-felted item is that it contains also a different material except from wool, i.e. cotton or silk.

The shawl measures approximately 190 cm (74.8 in) length and 53 cm (20.9 in) width.

The cotton-wool combination offers a soft and cozy feeling; the addition of silk provides a shiny and fine sense! Its earthy tones together with its soft and warm nature turns it into the perfect accessory for winter!

As all scarves made by QaraQul also this one is a unique piece!

Enjoy the nature’s bounty and richness!

“Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I want to tell you
how much
I love you…”

~ Sea of Love

Being not so sure by whom the original version of “Sea of love” is; Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Cat Power…? However all of them are incredible when they perform this song! That was my inspiration for this scarf and the situation that I am in! Diving in and floating on the “Sea of Love”!

This breezy and loose scarf is made with the cobweb felt technique, thus most of its parts are transparent with some small holes. This is the fascinating part of the cobweb felt which makes it unique.

For the scarf is used extra-fine merino wool from Australia and New Zealand in red, dark red, orange, peanut green and yellow colours.

It measures approximately 187 cm (73.6 in) length and 24-33 cm (9.4-13 in) width. It is narrow in the middle in order to be wrapped better around the neck and more than once and on the edges is wider giving the impression of a butterfly!

Its transparent surface allows the colour of your top to be partly visible and combined with a contrasting colour can give an enchanting effect! Although made of wool it is soft and airy and it feels absolutely like silk!

As all scarves made by QaraQul also this one is a unique piece!

“…I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again.”

This nuno-felted scarf is a combination of extra fine merino wool from Australia in orange-red, cotton gauze fabric in beige and natural local wool flakes (processed by me) in a variety of natural colours, ranging from white to black. The scarf consists of three very thin layers. The two of them are from merino wool on the two outer sides and in the middle there is the cotton gauze fabric which becomes visible only on some parts of the scarf. It is decorated with wool flakes which create an uneven and crispy surface. Moreover the use of wool flakes in natural color produce an intensive contrast with the bright orange color. The scarf was made using the wet-felting technique and the distinction between this nuno-felted scarf and a simple wet-felted item is that it contains also a different material except from wool, i.e. cotton.

The scarf measures approximately 167 cm (65.7 in) length and 40-53 cm (15.7-20.9 in) width.

The cotton-wool combination offers a soft and cozy feeling and because its dimensions the scarf will keep you warm from head to back during the cold days and nights of winter!
