Nuno-Felted Neck Warmer

Instructor: Mariya Gerhardt

Time of Class: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Friday, March 22

In class we will make a nuno felted neck warmer with different designs on both sides using extra fine merino wool roving (19mc), silk fabric, yarn, viscose fiber, silk thread. Wet felting is the process when hot water and soap are applied to layers of wool roving, while repeated agitation and compression cause the fibers to hook together or weave together into a single piece of fabric. Felt from wool is considered to be the oldest known textile. Nuno felting is the process of felting wool roving onto another fabric (silk). “Nuno” is a Japanese word for cloth or fabric. In this workshop students will learn basic of nuno felting, felt together different fibers (wool, viscose), silk fabric, yarn, silk thread. As a result, each student will have a unique neck warmer.
