Discover the magic of Nuno felting — a fabric felting technique that bonds soft merino wool to sheer silk using water, soap, and gentle friction. This process creates a lightweight yet durable textile with rich texture and beautiful drape.
In this hands-on session, you’ll learn the basics of nuno felting and create your own unique piece. Choose to craft a functional item like a small bag or pouch, or simply enjoy making a decorative fabric artwork.
