Felted Ruffle Scarf Workshop

Come to Nordic Northwest for this great workshop and leave with your own felted scarf!

In this project-oriented workshop you will learn how to work with thin and even layers of fine merino wool. You’ll learn how to blend the colors and the silk fiber in the wool before felting. You will study and explore how varying the staple directions and the thicknesses of the layers of wool affects the shrinkage rates and provides us with control in shaping the scarf. Even edge finishing techniques also will be taught.

Fiber arts is a huge part of the culture in the Nordic countries. Felting has a rich history in the Nordic countries and there is a huge modern revival. The history goes beyond modern record keeping. During the cold months in Nordic countries crafting (especially fiber arts) is a great way to pass the time along with using resources that were traditionally on the farm and the land. Join us in this Nordic tradition with a modern take.
