This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in textiles.

In this project, you will wet felt a scarf.  Some wet felting projects apply wool to a silk scarf blank or silk organza.  Others are more freeform like the cobweb scarf below.
