Mid-Atlantic Nuno-felted Cuff Class

Our nuno-felted cuff class was awesome! We had the best students, each gal chose a basic kit which had a rectangle of hand-dyed silk chiffon, merino wool fibers, curly fibers, bamboo, and metallic Angelina fibers. Then they got to pick goodies from the "embellishment buffet" of laces, silk and more fibers. After laying out their cuff we added soap and water and rocked and rolled until everything was felted together. Then we fulled the cuff, shrinking it down to fit, with a little room for overlap; each student could do their own personal closure once the cuff was dry. I was so proud of these girls, some of which had never felted before! They did a beautiful job, and I know they'll each enjoy their cuff for years to come. Here are a few pictures of fibers and lace I hand-dyed for the class and also the girls' gorgeous felted creations, still wet but you can get the idea, just beautiful!
