Order Nuno Felted Wool/Silk Scarf/Cowl, Eco Print Dyed, Eucalyptus

I love the colors in this nuno felted eco print dyed cowl. Several processes are involved to get the finished order item. The first process was the nuno felting where wool and silk were felted onto silk chiffon. White merino wool roving and generous amounts of tussah silk roving were felted onto white silk chiffon. The tussah silk gives it a beautiful sheen. Curly mohair locks were felted into the bottom edge. After the felting was finished, the second process of eco print dyeing was applied. This is where plants are coaxed to release their natural dyes in such a manner that their leaf imprints are transferred to the fabric. This cowl was eco printed with silver dollar eucalyptus leaves. The entire scarf was finally dyed in a eucalyptus tea to create the delicate natural colors. Copper and iron mordants were used to help enhance the natural colors left by the eucalyptus.

Open, the cowl measures approximately 26" around and 14" high including the mohair locks. It is slit along one side to create an opening that will allow the cowl the fit around the upper body. It can be worn with the slit on either side, front or back. The top edge can be turned down as seen in the pictures, or the cowl can simply be scrunched around the neck. It is soft and pliable with a great drape as can be seen in the pictures.

This is a beautiful garment that is so much more than a winter scarf. It can be worn in a number of ways, as a fashion accessory, or as a scarf/cowl in the cool outdoors. How ever you choose to wear it, this unique, one of a kind show stopper is truly a piece of wearable art.

I try to take pictures from different angles to show the different color and texture combinations. Computer monitors may show colors differently. Please feel free to ask questions.
