My Sister and I made this Nuno Felt Long Vest. We used Tussah Silk, 22 micron Merino fleece and Silk Georgette. It's been made all in one piece and slip stitched together under the arms. The creamy coloured Tussah silk has been used in a thin criss cross pattern all over the vest.
Nuno Felt is made by applying a fine layer of fibres over a sheer natural fibre woven cloth. I've used 22 micron Merino Fleece and cotton voile. The wool fibres penetrate the cloth and felt, causing the fabric crinkle. This method creates a light weight and drapable fabric. The finished shawl is 160cm wide and 100cm long.
As a general rule,
I'm not a bag lady,
but I love this one!
I wet felted it from
natural corriedale
and merino fleece
and it has
leather handles.
It's been made
in two halves,
has been stitched
together by hand
and lined with cotton.
I love it.
It's always full
of something
and goes with me
just about everywhere!
Both the chicken and the egg have been wet felted. The egg has been built up using an egg shaped resist which was later removed...............Had lots of fun...!
