Vicki Weaver is bringing felting back to the studio with Nuno felted scarves. The Nuno felted scarf is a featherweight creation with a totally unique surface design.

The wool eventually shrinks, pulling the fabric along with it,the result is an incredibly lightweight garment that drapes beautifully to create a lovely, textured scarf.
This workshop is designed for beginners and requires gentle, repetitive, upper arm movement. Participants are encouraged to bring their personal assortment of fabric bits, yarn, and/or thread remnants to embellish their piece. All supplies are provided but we do ask participants bring a small towel for drying their finished scarf. Cost is $25 per person. Space is limited!
