Silk/Merino Nuno Felting Scarf Kits

8/28/2010

I bought 2 of these. Yes they looked easy enough, very clear directions. For some cosmic reason the first one did not felt and adhere to the chifon. So I tried the second scarf, went slower and re-read the directions again. Still did not work. The colors are beautiful, very soft fiber but did not work as directed. I will save for the fiber for the spring birds building their nests. This the first item I bought form Dharma Trading that did not work.

I have made two scarves out of two kits and they turned out great. I used youtube to get any additional information on nuno felting to fill in any gaps there may have been in the package instructions. I think this extra info helped me greatly.

Beautiful scarves, easy to make. The colors are vibrant and the merino/silk is so soft. The first one I made wasn't felted quite enough, so make sure you don't stop felting too soon. I plan on making several more for my studio samples. Great buy, prices are good. A little more fiber would have been nice, but found thinner is better as you are making a two-sided scarf. At the price, order one and I bet you will be back ordering more! Sheryl @ Woven Dreams Farm.

One of the store's customers wore one of these to show us today. It was beautiful! It was very soft, and the colors were subtle and nuanced. She said it was easy to do, but took a lot of "core work", because you have to work it a long time, to get the fibers to go through the silk backing. She stressed that the water should be cool, not hot, so the fibers don't felt too quickly.
I could not believe how lovely the finished product was!

I love the colors in these kits.
Just for the record, the fiber blend is 80% merino wool and 20% silk.

fun but messy. Glad I didn't do it with 59 kids in a class, takes a bit more time than you think

The colors are beautiful with these scarves. Every time I wear one I get so many compliments and have already picked up orders to make more. At the price everyone should make one. Dharma shipping is always fast.
