Nuno felting is a technique developed in 1994 by the textile artists Polly Stirling and Sachiko Kotaka. By manipulating a small amount of wool fiber through a base fabric, they learned they could create a felted fabric with characteristics quite different from traditional felt. Nuno felt is thin, lightweight and drapeable. A similar process to wet wool felting, Nuno felting brings 2 different materials together to create a whole new textured fabric. While I was in Tucson for the Crystallized workshops, one class that I attended was Nuno felting. Follow along with my how-to photos to make some of your own! Step 1: start out with a base fabric (silk organza) a bit larger than the desired shape and size (the final product will shrink). Lay out a towel to keep your surface area dry and bubble wrap with bubbles face-up. Step 2: place a thin layer of merino wool roving over the base fabric using a shingling method (overlapping each section slightly) Experiment with designs. Step 3: place a piece of tulle over the entire piece. Step 4: Sprinkle the piece with a water and olive oil soap mixture. We used empty plastic bottles with sprinkle holes in the cap for the water mixture. Use your hands to pat the mixture into the piece. note: the piece should not be drenched with water, just slightly showered. Monica came around with an exterminator spray container and misted each of our pieces. She uses this when she is making many pieces at once. Step 5: with a styrofoam pool noodle cut down to size, loosely roll the piece up—the bubble wrap, base fabric, roving and tulle. Step 6: secure the roll around the noodle—we tied it up with panty hose. Step 7: roll on a flat surface, starting with both hands to elbows and back, about 100 times. Step 8: unroll and lift up the tulle to check the piece. The roving should have started to connect to the base fabric. Step 9: roll everything back up tightly this time and roll 100 times again. Step 10: Repeat steps 8 & 9. Step 11: after about 300 rolls, the piece should be almost completely connected to the silk organza. The final "felting" step is to lay the entire piece out, and with a more concentrated oil olive soap/ water mixture, sprinkle on and rub soap and fibers against the bubble wrap. The back side on the base fabric should begin to ripple when the roving is completely attached. Step 12: when complete, it should resemble this texture. Delicately rinse the piece under running water and soak in a vinegar/water solution for 15 minutes. Step 13: hang dry. Monica and Pat, the wonderful Nuno felt instructors, wearing their handmade scarves!

Surround yourself with this extremely soft and warm nuno felted shawl made with merino wool and Margilan silk gauze which can be seen on the uneven edges. The material is lightweight, airy, and gentle to the touch. The 19 micron merino wool is super fine, very soft, and not itchy. This wool will keep you warm, but the delicately fine material will ensure you do not appear bulky or weighed down. This is a beautiful accessory to add to any outfit, either casual or dressed up. This "Rose" shawl design features cutouts in the wool that highlight thin sections of silk and create the visual of a blossoming rose. This design is best seen when viewed from the back. This particular design can be personalized and requested to order in any color by sending me a message. Nuno felting is a technique that combines animal fibers with a sheer, open weave fabric, in this case merino wool and Margilan silk gauze. The result is an incredible lightweight material that is both soft and warm. Care instructions: Wool is a unique organic fiber and has a self-cleaning ability. However, if necessary, you can wash it. Use gentle soap in slightly warm water. Do not change the water temperature when you rinse out the soap. Wrap it up into a towel for a few minutes, reshape and dry flat. If you want, you can iron with steam using silk/wool setting . Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for visiting my shop! All items are made using eco-friendly techniques and materials in a smoke-free home.
If you are keen to learn how to make cobweb felt, look no further than this free cobweb felted scarf tutorial. The Cobweb felting technique, as you might expect from the name, produces a thin and lacy felted fabric, perfect for a felted scarf.
Yet another cobweb scarf. This time with blended merino and silk in lovely pastel shades of lavender, blue, pink ....and the shine of natural silk. I made this one a little smaller than the previous scarf......they just take sooooo long to make I decided to take a short cut and make a regular length. This one measures 104 cms x 19cms (7 1/2 inches x 41 inches) and weighs a tiny 13 grams. This one may end up going down to the Pittsworth Craft and fine Food Festival as well. This time I didn't use the sander. In the first stages I covered the tops with an old lace curtain and partially felted with lots of soapy water checking the progress by lifting the curtain often. I found that the very soapy water allowed me to float the fibres into a lacy position as I went. I then covered the scarf with a clear plastic sheet and felted by hand. I could see what was happening easily through the plastic and every now and then lifted the plastic and gently stretched the the scarf back into shape....helping the web to open. Fully stretched - I repeated this felt and stretch process until the scarf was fully felted. Notice how wide the scarf was stretched. Right side is in the process of being gently stretched to open up the web
