Crinkle Chiffon 05

Effect-felting.
With this slightly matt chiffon silk, and its finely curved lengthwise running pleats, very intriguing nuno-felt surfaces can be designed. Just try it yourself! In combination with our FLYFEL ^®-products this Crinkle Chiffon felts almost as quickly and effortlessly as smoothly woven chiffon.

Due to its characteristic bark-like effect, this silk naturally makes for an ideal raw material for transparent summery clothing, like blouses and tunics, as well as scarves of any size. Crinkle Chiffon is also ideally suited for noble curtains, designed to let in plenty of light (not for windows facing south!) and decoration purposes: romantic canopies, for example.

This design example is a variation of the technique described here in the IDEEN.com-Journal. Warm earth colored squares in different silk qualities, e.g. Pongee and Chiffon were felted onto dark brown FLYFEL®-web and the edges were covered and framed in with narrow stripes of black FLYFEL^®-web.

An elaborate Nuno felt scarf out of black FLYFEL®-web and different colored felted on stripes out of Chiffon and Pongee. It looks complicated but with the help of a couple small tricks it is easy to create. A detailed instruction for this piece can be found here in the IDEEN.com-Journal.
