Bliss Collection
When I worked on the items shown in this catalog, I was inspired by lace, lightness of fiber, and above all memorable color combinations. I wanted to show how silk and wool are a natural pair, no pun intended! Key Features: – Natural Fibers – Color! Or Cream! – Tassels – Felted Lace – “Stained glass” felted windows I also wanted to innovate my work and you can see it in the tassels that provide movement and functionality of wrapping your scarf or in the felted lace of merino wool. I finished the lace effect by adding tulle ‘stained glass’ windows to some of my premium scarves. Beyond technique innovation, I am passionate about adding this medium to your home and so I started with felted tussah silk on silk chiffon lampshades.

Natural Fibers
The quality of the materials is the backbone of the Bliss collection and the work produced under the Iris & Rose Designs label. I have used:
Tassels
Australian fine merino wool Spun and raw silk Cotton & cashmere
Bliss Collection: Key Features Felted Tassels with Cotton Cords Tassels are such a fun and practical way to both add detail and movement to fashion accessories. You can tie the tassels to close the scarf when you want it to work like an infinity scarf. I love adding them as a unique detail not found in other scarves.
