CREATING A WOOL & SILK PALETTE
New for 2025, I started working on a new seascape - this is just the beginning. I still have to add the detail and stitching which really enhances felting.
Something that I found through practice that really helps a wool and silk palette is to use my lovely Louette drumcarder to blend fiber. I run colors that I think will be used for a particular piece without blending them too much; usually warms, cools and greens. This way, I can select colors for the sky as well as the other components just like a painter would.
As you can see, colors are incorporated to a point that when these batts are unrolled, particular colors can be selected and blended further if needed. These are what were used for the above picture with the addition of some lace and some wool nepps.
