Althea Bilodeau Lamb
I express my love of fashion through traditional felt making and distinctive surface design. Each one-of-a-kind item is created from the finest quality wool, silk and exotic natural fibers. I begin by hand-dyeing my raw materials, then create unique non-woven fabric using my own variation of an ancient wet felting technique. From classic outerwear to dramatic scarves, shawls and bags, each piece is carefully designed and handcrafted in my Vermont studio.
