Scarf with felted parts

Scarf with felted parts

This is a delicate, handmade scarf crafted using a nuno felting technique, which combines lightweight fabric—such as silk or chiffon—with wool fibers. The scarf features a sheer silk black base with vibrant red felted wool accents, creating a contrast. The red wool is integrated into the fabric through a process of wet felting, where wool fibers are gently worked into the fabric using soap, water, and agitation.

Scarf is made from silk light fabric and wool.

Cultural

fibre and textile crafts

The scarf was made by hand, with the help of a rubber mat on which she created the scarf, and a felting machine, which shortened the process time.

Škofja Loka, Gorenjska, Slovenia

The craftwoman who made the scarf sources her materials mainly from Italy.

Scarf was made in nuno felting technique, which is a popular technique in contemporary textile art, allowing for the creation of lightweight yet warm garments and accessories. The technique allows combining of lightweight fabric—such as silk or chiffon—with wool fibers. The red wool is integrated into the fabric through a process of wet felting, where wool fibers are gently worked into the fabric using soap, water, and agitation. This results in a unique texture, with areas of soft, raised wool contrasting against the smooth, transparent fabric.

A scarf is a fashion accessory and thus a decorative object

The scarf was made for a gift.

Scarves are Anja Musek's best-selling products, and it takes her about two days to make one. She makes them to order and on demand, and has a few made in advance. She makes between 5 and 10 a month.

Anja Musek says that her medium of expression is wool, and that she finds inspiration mainly in nature. Škofja Loka was also known for hatmaking, where the knowledge of wet felting was used by hatters to make the bases for their hats.
