The Art

Nuno felting is a method of working wool roving or other fibers into another fabric, such as silk, gauze, or any open weave fabric. This technique was developed by Polly String, a fiber artist from Australia.

Wet felting is a process of layering tufts of wool roving and then wetting with hot, soapy water. The fibers are then worked together by rubbing with your hands on the fibers. The shrinking and rubbing binds the wool fibers together forming the fabric.
