The house where I grew up is well over 200 years old. At the bottom of the garden at the front is this stone wall. No one seems to know exactly how old the wall is - it just always seems to have been there. It has been made (and patched up) with all sorts of stone, bricks and cement over the years. It is still standing strong - despite the growth of lichen, ferns and wallflowers :-)
These punis/ rolags reflect the shades of different colours and textures within this venerable wall. I have tried to match the soft brown and grey tones using natural undyed fibres, augmented with merino in shades of green, unbleached tussah silk, and green tussah silk.
I have had to slightly changed one of the natural fibres used in this blend, from the original blend, due to being unable to source one of the fibres. To give the rolags a mixture of textures, to relfect the patched nature of the wall, I have used brown Icelandic fibres, oatmeal BFL and Moorit Shetland fibres.
All of the fibres, apart from the tussah silk, will felt, if you do not want it to, hand wash in cool water.
