Quite a while ago I ordered a couple of “sewing bin” kits from the supplier I get my lampshades kits from.
A couple of weeks ago I blended a purple batt on my drum carder using some different shades of purple merino and lilac flax.
I laid these blended fibres out on some Shetland pre-felt I then used some pink bamboo viscose, some pink and some lilac flax and some white merino and silk to decorate.
The length required was a challenge and I probably won’t make more than the other kit I have.
The other one I will probably do in the colours of our sunroom where I keep my Ashford Traditional wheel. We have nice lights in there I can pull fibres out of the stash to replicate.
I’m going to use them for active spinning and knitting projects.

Looks like they will hold a lot – and fun to tie in the felting you do to other fiber projects. 🙂

Today I made it a matching bauble with the trimmings. 😂

I took a needle felting picture class at the fiber festival I went to this past week end, and the whole time I thought about your beautiful lamp shades. It’s not as easy as it looks lol.

What did you make? My lampshades are wet felted, but the ones with sheep on I needle felt those on. My baubles, gnomes and fairies are needle felted.

I put a picture on my blog, it was sunflowers, but my rendition is a little sketchy :P. I’m using them for practice for blending, etc.
