Designer Suzanne Pufpaff says, "Shawls are a perennial favorite
as a clothing accessory. A handmade shawl can be a fashion statement or
a gift. It can be a great way to keep warm on those in between days or nights
when a substantial garment would be too much." This is a simple,
quick and elegant way to make a shawl in a day using a square of silk gauze,
a few ounces of fiber and a few sprinkles of dye.
The dye step may be skipped and use the white silk as is. The picture at left shows the cover photo of Suzanne's instructions. You follow the layout and design steps which have very good graphics for placement of the fiber and rolling the scarf in to felt the fibers. |
