Zed's eBook titled "Beyond Nuno : A Guide To Using Fabrics In Wet Felting" has answered all the questions I wanted to pose regarding what kind of fabric I should purchase for my Nuno experiments ... Thank You Zed! ... you made life much easier for me! :-)

I agree, it's a great book which helped me a lot at the beginning when I stepped on my felting path.

Hi Linn, sorry for the late reply, but thanks ever so much  I'm really glad you found it useful. I think my real answer to 'which fabric should I buy for nuno?' is 'All of it! Buy it all!' |

You're welcome :-)
Yesterday I was digging in a bin full of scarve that I used for backdrops for photography and thought ... "Hey, wonder if I can felt this??!!!" <LOL> So I guess I will definitely be cutting off short pieces and test it! There is one piece of fabric that I recall paying a fortune for that is totally exquisite ... hopefully it will felt.
Regards
Linn

I can't resist a pattern, so have a lot of synthetic fabrics which are 'temperamental', they attach well all over except one corner or only in the middle etc. Then do it differently next time!
You can still use fabrics which don't felt equally or consistantly, or even at all if you 'trap' them with wool wisps around the edges, or wool strips over the top, or even fabric strips over the top, (try a nuno 'weaving' loads of fun!) they'll be loose or loop up in places, but if you're making something decorative which isn't going to be handled much it doesn't matter, or even add stitches in places.
