Eleganzas are made from the thrums or weaving scraps left over from a wrap or scarf. When I collect enough for an Eleganza Scarf, which may be from three or more scarves and may take months to acquire. Each Eleganza is therefore individual and made one at a time.

Dimensions: 10" wide and 64" long.

This is a bracelet made from the wool fluff that washes out when I felt my woven wraps and scarves. I hand felt each felt bead individually with a wet felting process and each bead is unique. This necklace is strung on stainless steel wire so it is super strong but also bendy...

Eleganzas are really fun to make, I save all my thrums or scraps from the weaving process that are non-wool and then sew them together in a free motion machine embroidery technique. The result is lace-like but strong material which is very easy to wear.

This size is small which will fit up to approximately a 12-14 but looks best when roomy.

This dress was created as part of my In the Garden series for the Vancouver Eco Fashion Week. It turned out really nicely as I was not sure how the silk strips were going to wash. I am really happy that the texture looks like spruce bark too. This dress is a one size fits all up to size 12.
