New Delivery

This scarf was made without a wool layer, just pre-yarn and silk fibre on the top. No good, too many holes and the holes are too large!
 
I tried to rescue it and added a very thin layer of carded merino on one side. Not the tops but carded one because I thought it would catch better with already felted pre-yarn. Here is a result:

 
It's more solid now which may be a disadvantage but adding another layer of dyed wool created more interesting play of colours.
 

 Anyway, I like it better now!

And see what I've got just delivered:

 There is nothing to stop me now!
