What we find particularly thrilling about this piece is that is is made from merino wool felt.  Isn't it clever? It has been laser cut to create that futuristic lace like look.  Another great example of how versatile felt is.
 
Here are the creators of the piece with our own felter, photographer and WOW entrant - Kerry Gelmi -

Kerry tells us that Yogesh and Manas were charming young men and that the first thing they did on hearing that their entry was the 2010 Supreme Winner was to ring their families back in India.

Congratulations guys.
