Hand felted pure merino wool cuff, $60 by Marlene Schmidt, Craft Victoria, 31 Flinders Lane. Tel9650 7775
I once heard Tasmania described as the ‘Scandinavia of the southern hemisphere’. Yeah, hilarious, that’s what I thought too. But maybe this person wasn’t making fun of our southern neighbour’s accent at all. Maybe they were just referring to the good clean living and great design that seems to go hand in hand in both regions. This hand-felted cuff is a great example of what can be achieved when you spent your life in isolation with a few-dozen merino sheep. Nice work Scandimanians.
