Braiding







These are hand braided scarves I made. It's such a joyful new thing to me. No tool required!! Its diagonal crisscross structure makes it super elastic and soft. I used hand painted chunky wool to braid. They have irregular shape so it formed a organic shape of it. It has not even width.

Will share more tomorrow!
