Mmmm...Mustard Preview

Mustard Yellow is HOT HOT HOT for Fall 2011.  Made with reclaimed silks and a blend of Blue Face Leicester wool and silk, this scarf can provide lots of warmth if needed by wrapping around your face, (and you can even position breathing holes :))  This wool felted loftier than my merino nuno scarves, it's super soft and has a slightly fuzzy appearance to the fabric.

This scarf is extra long, and has 3 panels of silk at the neckline which gives it great drape when worn as shown in the wrap around tie method...or....

...when wrapped in the European Loop.  Lots of silk chiffon is around the neckline which give it a lofty yet lightweight feel around your neck.  It's a lightweight yet warm scarf without the bulk.

Sneak preview of my 2011 Holiday line

Free form nuno scarf from reclaimed silk chiffon fabrics.  Teals, greens and purple with a pop of leopard.  More silk fabric at the neckline, light on the wool resulting in more drape and wrap options.  Remember the fiber and fabric tease?  http://trulyuniquebyelise.blogspot.com/2011/07/fiber-batts-dyed-and-carded-to-match.html

Friday Fiber Tease....

How about some black and pink reclaimed silk, pink merino and silk fiber...This combo just reminds me of a poodle skirt...but rest assured this one is going to work up really cute.  I made a small one for my niece and need to get her to model it for me.
