I’ve had this batt of angora/merino in my stash for a couple of years now. I had dyed the wool when I bought it, (chemical dyes) and meant to use it long ago. Finally I pulled it out and made this sweet baby rug. It is sooooo soft. I put a piece of cotton gauze in the middle to add strength and keep to keep the piece light weight. The design is inspired by Ottoman Turkish art of the 16th century.

Hi there, just wanted to say that this piece is truly beautiful. I love the way hand felted wool has so much texture and this piece is a really beautiful example of how that texture can work to really make an artwork sing. (I’m sitting here dying to touch it as well, I am sure it is gloriously soft, which is another great thing about wet felted wool!)
