"Wedding White" was created by nuno felting. Stripes of soft, natural white merino wool was hand felted on a base of beautiful hand dyed cream colored silk gauze. The silk was left unhemmed to give the edges a raw and organic feel. Natural fibers like silk and wool keep you cozy warm without feeling overheated. Scarves made in this way are very easy to wear and they drape beautifully. They look great with just about everything in your wardrobe and can be worn as a scarf or in place of a necklace with a t-shirt and jeans, a light jacket, and even that perfect little black dress!
The scarf pictured measures a super long 70" long with 4" dreads.
Each scarf that I create is an individual piece of art and one of a kind. These scarves are show stoppers and conversation starters... learn a little bit about the process below.
What is nuno felt?
Nuno felting is a new spin on an ancient art. It is produced by applying wool or other natural fibers to a fine woven cloth. The wool is then worked into the cloth by applying soap, hot water, and a lot of elbow grease. As the wool shrinks, it works its way into the cloth and creates a lovely crinkled effect. The result is a fabric that is unique, durable, flexible, warm, and light as air.
Care:
This scarf looks very delicate but it is made for everyday use, the more you wear and wash it the more beautiful and soft the felt will become. Simply hand wash in a gentle soap and hang from the center to dry.
