I used the nuno felting technique for creating this scarf, utilising organic merino wool and silk, both dyed with natural dyes. The silk was first eco printed with onion skins, which gives it, after feltmaking a very mottled pattern of green, yellow and brown.
The silk makes the scarf flexible. It is nice and soft and is a perfect scarf for everyday wear, as well as other occasions.
