Cobwebs

I have been trying to make very thin felt , cobwebs in fact.  Not really made in the way a spider spin a web but thin enough to see through.
I was reminded by this field of cobwebs taken near Grasmere one misty morning.

This photograph was taken by my husband. See more of his beautiful images here.

Nothing I can make will be as amazing as these thousands of webs , visible so clearly in the mist.

My first attempt in white merino is reasonably successful for a first trial.

Pictured against a brilliant blue January sky.
Adding threads for interest as a further experiment.

This piece is quite stretchy and some of its ideas could perhaps be incorporated into a scarf, or maybe not.

These are good for experimenting and are part of the course, but I think I like my felt just a bit more robust and substantial.
