When wool is combined with other fabrics, usually with silk, you get a new material, the nunofelt. The hairs of the wool can go through the tiny holes of the silk and than felt together.

| The half of the felted nuno scarf in my garden |
There are three basic type of the nuno felts:
A: the whole area of the silk is covered by wool. In this case you got a strong, warm material. We made this one.
B: you use the silk as the main material and you add the wool as the decorative motif.
C: you add the silk as a decorative patch, a small design. In this case you use only a few amount of silk on the wool layers.

This large, warm nuno felted scarf was felted together with a bunch of mummies whose job was to find out a perfect gift for their children's kindergarten teachers.
The mummies chose the colors and the design.
I dyed the wool and than worked four mornings for felting the shawl.
I love these occasions, mothers are chatting, there is coffee and tea with some cookies, and the toddlers are playing around us.
