This page shows silk habotai which is lightweight, shiny and ever so beautiful. These fabrics make really elegant nuno felted silk scarves, shawls or garments. 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.
Also available: 4.5 mm gauze -- see the nuno scarf kits page for the latest colors. Gauze is easiest to start with when you are learning to nuno felt.
The prices below are just for the silk yardage.
The fabrics are now available by the yard! Up to 3 yards in one length. Introductory price of $29 a yard for 54 inch wide fabric! Works great for nuno garments! Email me and let me know how many yards you need. I will send a paypal invoice. Please allow 2 weeks for me to dye your fabric.
If you are using these fabrics for resale, I request that as a professional courtesy, you give me credit for dying the fabric.
There are written nuno felting instructions for sale at the bottom of this page. I also have a video for sale -- check that page! I get lots of compliments on my instructions.
The pieces I make in the summer often get black lines -- very pretty!
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 silk. I recommend fine micron merino, especially for the habotai.
For a Limited time only! Instructions are free with an order!
or if you just need instructions -- 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!"

"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.
Love. Love. Love the latest batch of silk! I can't wait to get down to the studio and work!

"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"

" Suzanne's silk pieces fire me up with inspiration; I cannot wait to see what magical combinations and intriguing pathways she will create next!"
"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."
