Textile Postcard Project Week #32

 May 6th - 12th 2018

Russet red handmade felt
 The Russet red hand made felt also comes from Kazakhstan where it is hand made and hand dyed. It is so very thick that I am sure it would be a wonderful material to make coats, cloaks or vests from to keep out the bitter cold winds of winter which people have to endure...many of whom would have animals to care for outside.

The colour of this remnant is rich russet red, quite different from the last postcard. I have appliqued some hand twisted thread onto it.
Close up view shows the attractive twist in the yellow-green thread.
