The Fabrics
This page shows silk habotai which is lightweight, shiny and ever so beautiful. These fabrics make really elegant nuno felted silk scarves or shawls. See the Gallery page for some examples. Each piece of fabric is individual, so patterns will vary. Many of the fabrics have layers of color for a really beautiful look.
The same color ways are also available in 3.0 mm gauze for the same prices. Email me if you prefer gauze.
These pieces are unhemmed but may have a selvedge edge which you can remove if you wish.
Email me for shawl sized pieces and prices. See the gauze special below!
There are nuno felting instructions for sale at the bottom of this page. I will coach you through!
I often have specials in my ETSY shop. www.nunofeltingsupplies.etsy.com
Email me if you need help choosing roving colors.
The next product I will be adding will be "silk supplements" -- small amounts of textured silks to put on top of scarves or add to the everything kits! Fun!
Cheers and THANK YOU GUYS!

Scarf and Shawl Instructions
Need nuno felting instructions for a scarf or shawl? I can email a copy to you! Free online coaching via email provided as well! Please note: the wool you use will have a large part to play in the success of your project, especially with the habotai or paj silk. I recommend fine micron merino, especially for the habotai.
Instructions are free with a $50 order!
Just purchase the item below and send your email address and I will forward the instructions.
"These (instructions) are wonderful, Suzanne! I've read them through several times already and can't tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to share the benefits of your own experiences. Previously, I've absorbed what I could from books and have watched lots of videos on You Tube, but I haven't found any clear, complete directions concerning nuno....until these! I can do this!"

.Customer Comments:
Your hand-dyed silk arrived yesterday, and I can't wait to explore the nuances of colors already in them, to craft some nuno scarves, shawls and collars! I love how deep and rich the colors are: every one of your scarves glows.
"Wow!!!! I just got the scarves, they were here when I came home. They are so beautiful!!!
"Hi......Scarves were delivered today and the colors are awsome... your colors are dynamite!!!!"
Carole Dysart, Oak Park CA
"I wanted to let you know that I got the scarves, they are so beautiful. I love every one of them. I am so happy to have something creative that I can do, with such beautiful fabric."
Ruth Olin -- Alaska
"I just nuno felted with the brown silk I bought from you and oh my gosh! I just love it! Your silk is the easiest to felt by FAR and the results are amazing."
Nicole Erfan, Ashland OR
"Hi Suzanne, The silk arrived today and it is even more beautiful than on the computer screen! I hope some day I can take dyeing lessons from you somewhere. Can't wait to get creative now. Thanks, Clada"
Clada Hoskins, Lindsay, CA
"You've got a quality operation going in terms of your fabric artistry and your go-the-extra-mile service. You're an artist who understands an artist's needs and sensibilities and persnicketyness (is that even a word?) and I for one appreciate it very much. And yes, your love of what you do shows up abundantly. People like you are a delight to deal with.
Best Regards, Barbara"
Barbara Troutman
" Suzanne's silk pieces fire me up with inspiration; I cannot wait to see what magical combinations and intriguing pathways she will create next!" Karen Samson, Tuscon
"I have finished two scarves using nuno felting on your fabrics; and I am very pleased with the results. I didn't seem to have any problems getting my fibers to migrate through your fabric, and you know I like to use a lot of fibers. I think what I like most is that with your beautiful hand-dyed silks the scarves are fantastic on both sides. It is like getting 2 scarves; the wool fibers on one side and your silk so textured and puckerly on the other side. I'm so glad we met, and I knew right away that I loved your fabric."Sara West, Roanoke, VA
