I hand-make all of my scarves using a technique called "nuno" wet-felting, which uses both wool and silk chiffon, binding them together by the use of heat and agitation. Felting is a traditional process of making fabric from loose wool fibers that predates weaving in ancient society. The introduction of silk materials is a recent technique, which allows for a greater range of effects, including more draping and movement of the felted garment.
The wool is a blend of merino, the softest wool in the world, and tussah silk fibers, which give the scarf a gossamer sheen. I hand-dye the silk chiffon with french dyes and the colors of these scarves are truly rich and vivid.
The Hibiscus Rose has a yellow silk chiffon center and an ecru petal with coral edging.
