“I found a place
Full of charms
A magic world
In my baby’s arms
Her soft embrace
Like Satin and Lace
Wondrous place…”
~ Billy Fury
This nuno-felted scarf consists of chiffon silk in grass green colour and extra-fine merino wool from Australia and New Zealand in a punch of colours; deep red, red, orange, yellow, mustard yellow, black, white, apple green, cypress green and dark green! The grass green chiffon silk is used as a basis for the scarf and the wool is applied on the top in order to create the patterning. The patterning incorporates wild spring flowers, at least as I imagine them!
The scarf is created with the wet felting technique. The distinction between this nuno-felted scarf and a simple felted item is that it contains also a different material except from wool, i.e. silk. It measures approximately 155 cm (61in) length and 36-41 cm (14.2-16.1in) width.
The combination of wool in thin layers and silk gives a very light and airy; sometimes even sheer fabric!
As all scarves made by QaraQul also this one is a unique piece!
Enjoy nature’s bounty and richness!
