Silk Gauze Scarf. 180x55cm.
Lime.

Today, Silk Gauze - the established classic - is the most popular ground for nuno-felting. Because of the large demand from all over the world, we offer the finest crepe fabric of our range of goods in a scale of 40 perfectly coordinated colours - for sale by the meter, or as extra-wide, diligently hand-rolled scarves.
The manufacturing of this extremely delicate fabric on traditional Chinese looms is still a real art! The fabric is woven from the same yarns as Pongee 05, but with an additional, challenging procedure: the yarns for Silk Gauze 3.5 are intricately twisted and over-wound to create the typical crepe-effect. The warp as well as the weft is made from these over-wound yarns.
Silk Gauze 3.5 is suited for all silk-painting techniques, and of course it is ideal for nuno-felting. Through felting, FLYFEL^®-web and FLYFEL^®-tops bond especially well and quickly with the fine fabric, resulting in a beautifully even and comfortably soft felt-surface.

An example for a design with the Gutta technique. The outlines of the gecko were drawn onto the stretched lime green scarf using transparent Gutta and the background was colored in black.

The same hand-painted Chiffon scarf as before, wholly felted onto periodet colored FLYFEL®-web. The delicate fabric disappears almost completely on the felt surface, the merino wool appears like "printed".

Delicate roses are twisted by hand using fine stripes of FLYFEL^®-tops in different summery shades of yellow and orange and felted onto the Chiffon scarf. Finely pulled top in shades of green create a wonderful floral edging on both ends.

In this design example both ends of the Chiffon-scarf were designed with Nuno-Felt.
Single, thin stripes of FLYFEL®-tops were applied grid-like, they intersected with the fine strands of matching mulberry silk-slivers. The merino wool slightly overlaps on the edges, which turn into discreet fringes during the felting process.
