I just finished listing a new fiber in my shop. But before I go on, I want to mention that I have seen on FB, people talking and posting pictures of their yarn spun with Himalayan Fiber. I’ve been intrigued with this fiber for a while, because of the many possible ways to be able to use it. I was very excited when I saw it available from one of my suppliers. I’ve been playing with an idea for a while, so as soon as the shipment arrived, I opened the box and grabbed a small portion to make a Nuno felted scarf.
Since I wanted to make the Himalayan Fiber be the main feature of my piece, I use it on both the first and last layers. The Merino wool and silk yarn stayed sandwiched in between the Himalayan Nettle as a result.
The staple of fiber is so long, that I took advantage of it to make the fringes of the scarf. The felted piece also has a nice drape and it looks like the fabric will soften with use.
I will eventually have to spin some too!
