Nuno Felting

I am a Fiber Artist, I create handmade one of a kind art. I use wool and silk to create unique items from wearable art to home decor using the process of felting and or nuno felting which incorporates silk or any other open weave fabric.

Nuno felting is the most intersting and facinating form of art. You take a fine merino wool and a piece of silk or any open weave fabric and fuse it together with warm soapy water and slowly agitating it by hand until you see the fibers of the wool coming through your open weave fabric. That is the felting process, Now you shock the fibers by tossing and rolling it which is called the fulling process. What happens when this is done the silk fiber takes on a rushing effect which is quite lovely.
