Shibori Hand Dyed Alpaca-Merino-Devore Silk Scarfs
Available in several colorways. Call us or leave instructions in the comments section at checkout.
Using the FeltLOOM the artist can create large pieces of felt from Kentucky alpaca or Texas merino wool batting. The FeltLOOM redefines Fiber Art by enabling a person to make their own fabric with chosen fibers, colors, textures, and designs. The FeltLOOM provides choices that we have never had before.
The artist then takes the soft wool felt and pole wraps it and paints at least three colors of dye onto the fabric. She never knows what each piece will look like. The weight and the hand of the fabric varies, depending on the type of sheep. and the weight of the batting. This felt fabric is meant to be touched and worn.
The Artist- Laverne Zabielski
 When I first began, my studio was in an old pole barn. During the evening I processed the silk I had dyed earlier. Wrapped in newsprint, heat set the dye as the silk steamed on the old canner on the wood stove. I loved hanging the freshly rinsed silks in the barn, the contrast between the rawness of the wood, its roughness and the softness of the silk, sensuously moving as the wind blew through the cracks in the barn.
Currently I live in a cabin in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. My inspiration comes from hiking in the woods and trying to figure out how to capture the colors I see. My truly wearable art, made from all natural fabrics, includes serenity shawls, goddess capes, bolero jackets, poetry vests and skirts, riding coats, caftans and dresses. What I love to do most is create a collection. To layer on various colors and textures of fabrics and designs. Each design has several pieces which have been torn and serged before sewing them together; a process through which I continue to recover memories in the 5/8 seam allowance I learned from my mother.
