Silk Gauze Scarf. 180x55cm.
Black.

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.

On black background, e.g. chiffon, the FLYFEL^®-pads can be felted on first and the scarf can then completely be painted and fixed.

This design example consists of a black chiffon scarf and red FLYFEL^®-web. Both layers were wholly felted together. The red fleece overlaps a couple of centimeters on both ends and was cut into fringes after felting. The evenly stitched on pearls on the woolen side give the normally rather simple Nuno-felt scarf an especially elaborate look.

For this strongly crinkled design example, an orange colored scarf out of Pongee 05 was laid onto a felt base, then grid like covered with finely pulled FLYFEL^®-tops in black and lastly a slightly wider Chiffon scarf was placed on top. Latter has to slightly be pushed together in order for the two scarves to fit together. Through that, small wanted structures like pleats and bubbles are created on the Chiffon, which are formed during felting anyways.

All together a beautiful, changeable, summery light Nuno-felt scarf is created. The three-dimensional effect is strongest when the scarf is additionally felted and dried in the dryer after slightly felting in by hand in the beginning.
