Weave It, Felt It - Part 4

A number of throw rugs from Chris, Joan and Rose were hung in pairs between the stained glass windows on one side of the church.

On the other side were long hangings from Peg. This was a popular one with the public.

More of Peg's work was hung in the front of the church

Weave It, Felt It - Part 2

One of Win's signature "frilled" scarves, mainly alpaca and silk
but felted merino on one edge to create the curves.

Judy's Bronson Lace scarf, woven in the softest cashmere - lovely to handle.

Deflected Double Weave makes the rich pattern in this red and gold scarf from Judy

“Underwater Fantasy No 2”, Merino wall panel by Christine

Two eye-catching evening wraps from Denise. One is nuno felted.

"Flotsam" wrap by Christine. Nuno felted, with some of the fabric cut away.

"Medusa's Slippers", felted wool with snakes! People loved these!

Wendy's collection of colourful felted balls was popular and
rather depleted by the time I took the photo.

From Friday 5 November to Sunday 7th the Marlborough Weavers and Felters will be holding their annual display. "Weave It! Felt It!" is held to coincide with the final weekend of Hunters Garden Marlborough, one of the really big events on the Marlborough calendar which culminates in a Fete in Seymour Square on the Sunday.

The display is across the road from the Square, in the St Andrew's Church complex (the stone church with the glass spire.) Friday and Saturday 10am till 5pm and Sunday 11am till 4pm. The same venue also provides tea and coffee and a sitting-down spot for rest and recovery for those with retail fatigue. If you are in the area, do come and visit. Most of the work is for sale. Free admission.
