I love Shetland wool for felting, because it is so very fine and soft. I felted many berets from Shetland wool sometimes combining it with soft and dyed merino wool.

A few years ago I was asked to felt another giant Shetland wool beret 39cm in diameter. It was commissioned from a man in New Zealand, who's collecting berets from all over the world. This hand felted one was still missing in his collection. I love it, when the felted items, which I create, travel to different parts of the world and find new friends. There are 99+ different ways to wear this beret.

...and this could be the male way to wear the giant beret.

And a few month later somebody from the US saw the giant Shetland wool beret on the beret project's blog and commissioned an even bigger beret with 48cm diameter Here it is:

Just 5 weeks later I felted a beautiful red merino wool giant beret for the same person. Here it is:

I love felt making and even more nuno felting. The combination of an airy silk chiffon with sheep's wool is just amazing and inspiring.
