Nuno-Dévoré

With patience and some practice, even burnout fabric or scarves can be felted with FLYFEL^®-web.
First dye the burnout scarf in two colors. Normally this happens in a big pot with 4-5 liters of water and two dyes; one for the back out of silk and one for the viscose tuft. In this example, the back was dyed in a similar color then the fleece that was used: in purple red. The tuft in sun yellow.
 

It is easier with the zebra pattern: you simply need some black steam fixable silk color. Dye the scarf in slightly boiling water with 15-25ml color, stirring constantly until the black has reached the desired intensity. The viscose also absorbs a hint of color; the result is a black scarf with a noble silver shimmering pattern.
 

After dying, the scarf is laid onto the fitting piece of FLYFEL^®-web and felted on. Overlapping fleece can simply be cut off after felting.
With Dévoré, especially with a high amount of viscose, the felting process takes clearly longer than with super fine chiffon. But it is well worth it!
The felting process can be shortened in the dryer; but for that the edges and bigger transparent areas should be felted by hand in advance, so that the velvet cannot move out of place.

 

Already rolled Dévoré scarves most of the time have a 2-3cm wide edge, which can be hard to felt sometimes.
IDEEN tip: Simply undo the rolled hem carefully, iron the silk and lay a narrow stripe of FLYFEL^®-web on top.
The merino wool on the bottom felts quickly through the silk, connects with the stripe and creates a nice edging for the scarf.
 

A beautiful example for the "melting together" of burn-out fabric and FLYFEL^®-web. Here, the transparent silk back was dyed in the same color as the to-be-felted-on fleece. After felting, the rose pattern appears especially vividly and three-dimensionally.
