Item Description

Two-toned blue and red handmade silk and wool felt scarf (11” width x 58” length), designed and crafted by Minnesota fiber artist Mary Reichert.

Mary reflects, "My work is a love of finally learning to use my hands, a thread to those who came before, an attempt to keep alive old knowledge, and mostly one big attempt to say thank you.

"I draw much of my inspiration from nomadic herding cultures of Central Asia.  Before urban living, felt was deeply entwined in the daily life--from saddle pads to yurt walls, clothing to kitchen accessories, with incredible attention to detail on every piece.

"It is such an elegant, and seemingly simple, way to say thank you--going slow enough to constantly create beauty and remember the stories from the fiber and food giving all our shelter, clothing, and daily sustenance."
