“Joey, baby – don’t get crazy
Detours. Fences… I get defensive
I know you’ve heard it all before –
so I don’t say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
fight your secret war.
And though I used to wonder why –
I used to cry till I was dry.
Still sometimes I get a strange pain
inside
Oh, Joey, if you’re hurting so am I.

Joey, honey – I got the money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen
And if I seem to be confused
I didn’t mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you,
well I guess you scared me too.
But we got lucky once before
And I don’t wanna close the door
And if you’re somewhere out there
passed out on the floor.
Oh Joey, I’m not angry anymore…“

I know it’s strange to give this scarf a man’s name… but today it is one of these days that (I) get a strange pain inside… (I) get defensive, scared, hurt. I think this song by Concrete Blonde says more than enough…

This nuno-felted scarf consists of chiffon silk in dark red colour and extra-fine Australian merino wool in a punch of colours; dark red, red, orange, pink, white, light blue, apple green, cypress green! The dark red chiffon silk is used as a basis for the scarf and the wool is applied on the top in order to create the patterning. The patterning incorporates wild winter flowers, at least as I imagine them!

The scarf is created with the wet felting technique. The distinction between this nuno-felted scarf and a simple felted item is that it contains also a different material except from wool, i.e. silk. It measures approximately 160 cm (63 in) length and 32-38 cm (12.6-15 in) width.

The combination of wool in thin layers and silk gives a very light and airy; sometimes even sheer fabric!

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

felted wrist warmers -to hide a little thought-

“I tried to hide a little thought
The more I tried the worse things got
It started out so meek and small
But in a wink pervaded all

Many thoughts they come and go
This too shall pass, she’ll never know
But since my way is bold and free
She noticed somethin’ strange in me

To hide a little thought
A little vagabond
A sprite in the dark
that wouldn’t move along…”

This pair of arm warmers is made of Australian extra-fine merino wool in orange-red, yellow and green-turquoise colours. Additionally mulberry silk threads in green-turquoise are used to decorate them and to offer a more 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 orange-red wool. Each of them is asymmetrical in shape and colour; one contains more yellow wool as decoration and the other more green-turquoise mulberry silk.

They measure approximately 14-19 cm (5.5-7.5 in) length and 9 cm (3.5 in) width (flat). They fit most wrists however they can be reshaped (smaller or larger) with the use of warm water.

“Time, time, time, see what’s become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won’t you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime

Look around, leaves are brown
There’s a patch of snow on the ground…”

Additionally a large quantity of mulberry silk threads again in light blue were used in order to offer a shiny effect which adopts different hues depending on the natural light.

It measures approximately 173 cm (68.1 in) length and 19-46 cm (7.5 -18.1 in) width. It is a bit narrower 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 surface is uneven depending on the distribution of wool and silk! Where the wool is in larger quantity the surface becomes smooth and dull, where the silk prevails the texture becomes irregular and ruffle however shiny!

Its transparent surface allows the colour of your top to be partly visible and combined with a contrasting colour can give an enchanting effect! It feels soft and smooth and it looks airy and dreamy like walking in the… hazy shade of winter!

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