This is a beautiful nuno felted, eco print dyed scarf. Several processes are involved in making this beautiful scarf. The first process was the nuno felting to create the scarf. White merino wool roving and generous amounts of tussah silk were felted onto silk chiffon. The tussah silk creates the beautiful sheen that is present throughout the scarf. The nuno felting was done in such a way that a delicate silk chiffon ruffle runs along the edges of the scarf. After the felting was finished, the second process of eco print dyeing was done. This is where plants are coaxed to release their natural dyes in such a manner that their leaf imprints are transferred to the fabric. This scarf was eco printed with eucalyptus leaves and seed pods. I really like the way the leaves dyed a delicate orange and the seed pods dyed darker. All came from the same tree. The entire scarf was finally dyed in a eucalyptus tea to create the delicate natural colors. Copper and iron mordants were used to help enhance the natural colors left by the eucalyptus.

The scarf measures approximately 62" long and 12" wide. It is soft and pliable with a great drape as can be seen in the pictures.

This is a beautiful garment that is so much more than a scarf. It can be worn in a number of ways, as a fashion accessory, or as a scarf/cowl in the cool outdoors. How ever you choose to wear it, this unique, one of a kind show stopper is truly a piece of wearable art.
