Nuno Felting Reversible Cowl Kit

Description:

Nuno Felting Reversible Cowl Kit. This kit provides all the basic information to learn the fascinating technique of Nuno felting, you will create a beautifully colourful silk and wool reversible cowl. Nuno felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling, a fibre artist from New South Wales, Australia, around 1992. The name is derived from the Japanese word, ‘Nuno’ meaning cloth. This method of felting is where wool or fibre is embedded or entangled with and through open weave fabric such as silk. The method uses soap, warm water and agitation to tangle fibres and fabrics together to create felt cloth. In between approximately 6 – 9 hours you will explore making a colourful seamless cowl using a resist, you will be guided through choosing colours and textures and the wet felting process.

It’s possible to complete your cowl over a number of days, just cover your work with a piece of plastic each time you leave it, then warm it up with fresh warm soapy water when you return.

You do not need any prior experience and the kit provides all the necessary materials and equipment.

Felt is surprisingly strong and no two pieces will ever be the same, this is the time to embrace your creativity and add your personal mark.
