Truly beautiful feltwork from Teona



I am absolutely blown away by the shear beauty of this felt work by Teona. It is so fine, exquisitely soft and really stunning. I have never seen felt work like it!

This black and white scarf is so soft and exquisitely beautiful. It is also totally unique. It measures 169 x 1.5cm and is priced at £49.










These hats are very different and quite unique, on right a black felted wool cloche style with a gorgeous pink flower price £59 and the left a similar style but black with a light grey turn back and an applique pink flower design with a scattering of diamante studs price £49. Both very 1920's design and very flapperish!




This gorgeously soft and very fine felted wool scarf is light grey in colour with a black design running down through and finishng with a black felted rose. It is decorated at both ends with more roses. Price £45
A dream of a scarf!

The black felted wool hat has a turn back cuff and is decorated with 3 diamonte studs. Price to follow.








This stunning black and scarlet red scarf is not only so soft but is just a joy to wear. Felted wool with the red design running down through the length of the scarf finishing with a felted red rose. Both ends of the scarf are decorated with more roses. There are two sizes and prices are £45 and £59.
This is my favourite!












And finally 'Still Life' a felted wool collage. I am rather lost for words here, this work is so amazingly real, so tactile and yet a real work of art. This would be a total joy to own. Priced at £130

Ravelry - I'm there - come and find me!


The news today is that I have managed to get myself, Cornish Wools and Village Crafts on Ravelry, the worldwide chat room for knitters everywhere.

If you visit me 'Prussia' and the Cornish Wools entry you will see that I have not managed to master the general workings of the site quite yet, but I am there!

New yarns into the shop last week were Sirdar Escape DK and Sirdar Eco DK (100% pure wool, natural and undyed). We also took delivery of Prym Bamboo knitting needles and lots of other associated knitting bits and pieces.

Over the last 3 weeks the weather in this part of the UK has been really bad with so much rain and gale force wind but my dogs Sharna and Layla just love it and romp and play even as they do in the middle of summer, they never seem to mind just how wet they get.

Today - the good news is that the sun is shining and the rain has gone for the moment together with the wind - and its just lovely!
