HOW THEY'RE MADE
Soft Australian merino wool is laid down in thin layers, often with silk embellishments. When making Nuno felt, I felt directly onto a fine woven natural cloth, either cotton or silk. This allows for a lighter, yet still strong, fabric. Cobweb felt is make from a very fine layer of wool, laid down in longer strips, which pulls apart during the fulling process, creating the cobweb effect.
The felting process (getting the fibres to 'stick' together) is achieved by massaging hot soapy water into the fibres. To attain a strong and durable finished material, the wool is then fulled with more heat and massage, during which time it shrinks around 30 percent.
The resulting felt cloth is durable, water resistant and, made from the finest wool - is incredibly soft and beautiful.
