There are two styles of scarves on this page. Regular and Infinity.
My scarves are made of 100% silk chiffon and merino top hand-painted roving wool. The nuno process makes the scarves very soft, and perfect against the skin. The scarves can be washed in cold water and mild soap.
Decription
Nuno felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling, a fiber artist from New South Wales, Australia, around 1992. The name is derived from the Japanese word "nuno" meaning cloth. The technique bonds loose fiber, usually wool, into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. The fibers can completely cover the background fabric, or they may be used as a decorative design that allows the backing fabric to show. Nuno felting often incorporates several layers of loose fibers combined to build up color, texture, and/or design elements in the finished fabric.
