Nuno Felted Scarves

These scarves are created by Shannon onsite in The Fibre Studio. The silk is hand-dyed and the raw alpaca fleece is cleaned, dyed and carded or used in it's natural state. Interesting accent fibres such as merino, mohair, bamboo, soy silk, firestar, curly locks, cheesecloth, and tencel are added. Through a process involving water, agitation and olive oil soap, the alpaca felts, shrinks and pulls the silk, producing a beautiful puckered effect. These scarves are light-weight, airy and all one-of-a-kind creations.
