Nuno felting

Nuno felting is a technique that combines felting and fabric sewing to create lightweight, textured textiles. It involves layering and pressing wool fibers onto a base fabric, such as silk or cotton, and then agitating the fibers with water, soap, and gentle agitation. This causes the wool to bind and fuse with the fabric, creating a permeable, flexible material that integrates the fibers seamlessly. Nuno felting allows for artistic expression through shaping, dyeing, and bonding layers, resulting in fabrics suitable for clothing, accessories, and art pieces that have a soft, draped quality.
