Further Detail
We will be using fine merino wool in a wonderful range of colours to create floaty, soft-as-a-feather cobweb felt. This very simple technique creates beautiful scarves. Nuno felt is made by using merino wool and the wet-felting process to turn silk and muslin fabrics into a gorgeous drapeable textile that can be used to construct garments, scarves, wraps and many other wearable items.
