Spiraled Nuno-felt Art Shawl

Description

This shawl was crafted from hand-dyed silk and an alpaca fiber blend from our own alpacas! It was created by placing thin layers of hand-dyed fiber onto the silk, then wet-felting it by hand until the fibers permanently penetrate the silk. This results in the silk being puckered, giving it a very interesting effect! The final spiral images were needle-felted and then wet-felted by rubbing onto the surface with wet, soapy water.

The final product is one-of-a-kind, warm, and elegant. It can be draped over the shoulders or pinned. I hope you enjoy the feel of natural alpaca fiber and silk as much as I enjoyed working with it!
