FIBER ARTS
Bobbie Pell


 

Celtic Colours, magical fiber arts creations, are luxurious hand-made garments for women. High quality yarns (Peruvian Highland Wool, Suri Alpaca, Merino Wool, Brushed Kid Mohair, Silk, Rayon Boucle) blended with hand-dyed colors create mosaic fabrics. Garments are one size fits all. Each style series is based on designs and traditions of the early Celts while color combinations mirror the Celtic affinity with nature. Be sure to follow color detail links for individual skeins!

Touch the sensual delights of simple beauty and elegance!

 


 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

WOODLAND HATS/ SCARVES

Each piece is made from worsted weight Peruvian Highland wool, a fiber known for both its durability (like Corriedale) and softness (like Merino). The kettle-dyed effect creates ripples of rich hues from light to dark variations matched with the luxurious viscose chenille trim. Crown stitch definitions are seen in circular motifs such as the Spiral, Water Wheel, Druid, and Begonia Wheel which parallel in form the ancient Celtic belief in the connectedness of all things.

SILKEN TRELLIS SCARF

Lighter than air yet abundantly warm, this attractive scarf is created in a delicate, open stitch. The 10-inch width allows the wearer to wrap both head and neck simultaneously or simply wrap the scarf around both shoulders to keep off a chill. The wool and silk blends offer a baby soft fabric in durable strength. Color names are inspired by Celtic feast days and celebrations.
