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.
