Wound Wool Cards
Wo u n d Wo o l C a r d s
By Sarah Keen
Over the years I have accumulated rather a
lot of left over yarn. One day I decided to put it
to good use by winding it around card to make
wool pictures and found I rather liked the result.
I find I now have to buy balls of random/tex-
tured yarn to add to my collection, giving me a
wide palette to choose from for my pictures. For
many of my designs I have taken ideas from
nature, others are completely abstract just relying
on the loveliness of the different colours and
textures of the yarns.
Materials Required:
Wool oddments in different colours and textures.
Stiff card.
Sticky tape.
P. V.A. Craft Adhesive.
A selection of coloured card mounts.
To Make The Cards:
First decide on a colour scheme, select wools
of different thicknesses and textures and with
toning or contrasting colours. Choose a card
mount which is a good colour match for this
selection of wool.
Take a piece of stiff card and cut it to size, it
should be 1-2cm smaller than the card mount all
round. If you want to
make an even border
on the finished card
make it just slightly
narrower at the sides to
allow for the thickness
of the wound wool.

I usually avoid
using wools which
vary in thickness
for the base layer
as they can leave
gaps where the card
shows through. Save
these to wind over
the top of plainer
wools which will
show through and
add interest and
depth.
For abstract cards
lay the wool out to
see which colour
order looks best and
begin by taping the end of the first colour close
to the top of the piece of stiff card. As you begin
winding bring the wool level with the top of the
card, wind round evenly leaving no gaps and
without overlapping.
When you feel it’s time to change colours, cut
the wool so the end will be at the back (the same
side as you started) and fix in place with a piece
of tape. Start the new piece, taping at the back
and bringing the thread up to meet the previous
layer as you make the first turn. Continue in this
way until the whole card is covered.
Add textured, contrasting or metallic wools
over the top of the completed layer. Fasten on at
the back with a small piece of tape and wind just
a couple of turns of wool, wind these at an angle
to the first layer and to each other leaving plenty
of space between them. For a different effect try
winding a few strands around the length of the
card. I often do this and it is especially effective
if worked in a metallic thread.
For scene cards it can help to include objects
which have a defined shape. Try crocheted circles
to make suns or moons. Another idea is to cut
birds or other shapes from felt or fabric.
Apply glue to the back of the the design, wait
for it to go slightly tacky then press onto the card
mount. Place under a heavy book until the glue
is completely dry.
