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

In this project, you will make winter drapes. You may start with wool yarn or raw wool fiber.

Minimum requirements:
- drapes must be made of sheep's wool or another insulative animal fiber
- start with raw fiber or yarn
- construction technique must be appropriate for the project
- total width must be at least 10 feet
- can be for multiple windows

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 2 min):
- Show and describe the wool fiber or yarn and tools you will use
- Explain why your fiber content choice is appropriate for the project
- Explain why your construction technique is appropriate for the project
- Making the yarn (if starting with fiber)
- Making the fabric
- Making the drapes
- Your completed and hung drapes (perhaps with a tape measure showing total width)
 
And now for something completely different ... OUCH! STOP THAT! HOLD THIS TINY AD!
