Frolicking fun, and SO SOFT! This piece was woven on a warp of black walnut dyed merino with a weft of naturally dyed cashmere-silk.  Into this infinity scarf were woven stripes of bulky merino and merino fringe that was loghtly felted in the finishing process. The natural dyes used were cochineal, black walnuts, buckthorn leaves and berries, sandalwood and marigolds.

This piece measures 57 inches around and 4.5 inches wide.
