Silk for Nuno Felting, Indigo and Violet low water immersion, Chiffon
Silk chiffon is known for its strength, gorgeous drape, and sheer texture. It has a slightly crepey surface, which helps it “grab” fiber when felting, but is loosely woven enough to make the process straightforward.
This piece is a 22×54” low water immersion-dyed 10 mm chiffon scarf blank in violet and indigo.
All of my nuno silks have unfinished edges. Some may have one or two selvedge edges but all have at least some raw edges. You can finish these by felting over them, rolling and stitching, or just leave them as-is for an extra rustic look.
