Needle-Felted Scarves with Yarn Stripes

Maybe you would like to make one of these scarves or dress one up that you already have. Go to Martha Stewart’s for complete instructions. In hues of blue, gray, and cream, these scarves evoke the look of men’s suiting. The stripes are created with pieces of yarn needle-felted along the length or width of the scarves. The navy scarf shows how needle-felting looks on both sides: The design on one side is sharp; the other, blurred. As with the roving scarf, you can dress up a store-bought one or use unhemmed woven-wool fabric cut to the size you desire. See the How-To for Felting with Yarn.
