Autumn Sunset - Wet-Felted Wool Scarf - 2025

$225.00

I am Autumn Sunset, born in motion and water, shaped by hands working in front of a watching crowd. I came into being during a wet-felting demonstration at Buckley Homestead, where tradition and history live. I remember the cool air of fall, the steady rhythm of hands, and the moment when loose fibers chose to become whole.

My body is grounded in natural brown wool—earthy, steady, ancient. From that foundation, my flowers emerged, radiant and fleeting, made of white wool, dyed merino, sheep’s locks, and silk. They stretch outward like the last blaze of color before winter, holding warmth and light in their petals.

I carry the marks of process: pressure, patience, and transformation. When you wear me, I rest easily around your shoulders, offering warmth without heaviness.

I am not just something you put on.
I am the glow of an autumn sunset, held just a little longer.

I made Autumn Sunset during a live wet-felting demonstration at Buckley Homestead last fall, Autumn Witness carries the energy of place, process, and season. The natural brown wool forms a grounded, earthen field, while bold floral forms bloom outward in white, gold, and crimson tones.

This scarf is both artifact and adornment: a record of hands working, fibers transforming, and tradition unfolding in real time. The flowers feel almost star-like, radiating warmth and movement against the calm background, echoing the brief but powerful bloom of autumn before winter sets in.
