We always try to do what only human beings can do. Let your creative mind find your true self by using yarns from over 500 colorful and natural materials.

Don't worry if you think you're clumsy. You will be immersed in weaving with our unlimited materials in no time. Within just two hours, a tapestry-size woven piece can be completed by you! You'll be proud of what you've accomplished!

Nuno Felting Scarf

Sunday, January 21, 2024 (Workshop)
Loop of the Loom - Dumbo
(map)

1:30 PM - 5:30 PM

Nuno felting is a technique which creates beautiful layered textiles of fabric and natural fibers, inspired by ancient felting processes.

The process of wet felting is a physically laborious process, but we will guide you to a wonderful result with an adapted technique and as little physical strain as possible. Like a group workout, it's fun to do together. We believe that the end result is beautiful because of the love and the effort put into the cloth's creation. Improvised colors and textures made by nature make us happy. Let's make together with other fiber lovers!

Note

  • We can do for a private group! (up to 6 people)

  • Bring an apron and rubber sole indoor/outdoor shoes.

$250 / 4 hours

We provide:

  • 1 Silk chiffon fabric (72" x 18.5")
