A feedback from one of the participants after this wet felt class:

Thank you for such an enjoyable wet felting class. We were all different ages and experience, but you managed to help everyone and shared your expertise with us. It was a lovely atmosphere, we had fun while learning a new craft and we each went home with a piece of work that we had made on the day.

What a lovely way to learn...looking forward to the next class.

Participant's work from the Nuno felt workshop on Sunday, the 2nd of Sept. 2012 and my own latest Nuno felt scarf


We had a happy craft day with nuno felting. I love it and I'm happy to share my experience in felt making. Here you see 2 Nuno felt scarf projects from workshop participants and one of my latest Nuno felt scarves:
The fabric is cotton muslin, the wool is Merino and a little grey Shetland wool. For the embellishment hand spun wool in grey and moss green has been used.


Finished, but still wet Nuno felt Scarf

The fabric is silk chiffon and the wool is Merino and Corridale. A little bit of Angelina fiber was added, trapped with a thin layer of wool

New nuno scarves and what participants in the previous felt workshops created

I soooo much love nuno felting as more as I do it! Here you see my 2 newest nuno felt projects. This time I used a cotton voile instead of a chiffon silk fabric. It works fine and makes wrinkles too.
Planning to run a nuno felt workshop in Glasgow. If you would be interested, please send me a note: laryna108@gmail.com and let me know. Times could be either beginning of December or mid/end of January 2012.

5 nuno felted scarves
These 5 beautiful scarves were made by 5 participants in a workshop run by me in Penicuik/south of Edinburgh. The workshop was part of the Penicuik and District Arts Festival in September 2011. The participants used colourful merino wool and a piece silk fabric.
Feed back from a participant: "Thank you for a wonderful workshop, Laryna really enjoyed it and full of inspiration to start my next scarf. It was great to see you again."C.J.

 Nuno felting is a fabric felt technique. The name is derived from the Japanese word "nuno", which means cloth. the technique bonds loose fibres, usually wool into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. You will learn how to make a nuno scarf, using wool and a piece of silk fabric. Previous experience in felting or good craft skills would be required.
