Kyrgyzstan Silks

The 7 Sisters represented by Farzana and Kadyrkul Sharshenbieva had beautiful dyed silk and wool felted items.

I came away with two vest/scarves and a scarf.  The vests consist of two layers of silk with wool felting.  She even showed me a couple of ways to wear them.

"Working alongside her six sisters, Farzana follows in the family tradition of making felt carpets and rugs and traditional jackets as well as making scarves that combine silk and felt.  These beautiful and delicate pieces are made with local raw materials, including natural dyes, sheep's wool and handmade yarn from sheep."
