I'm so tickled to be taking this class tomorrow. It looked beautiful in the accompanying picture, but I didn't know what nuno felting was. So I googled it! Turns out it's a Japanese technique of felting wool to a gauze (like the silk scarf we'll be using) using "wet felting" techniques. Yep, I had to google wet felting and found that means using a screen or netting and a sponge dipped in hot water.
Apparently you place natural fibers at 90 degree angles along the scarf, put the screen on top, wet it while pressing down with the sponge. Voila! One scarf.
