I Felt

Born and raised in Europe, I had learned early on that hands were meant to create and build. Knitting, crocheting, needle pointing, seasonal and team home decorations were the stepping stones that lead me down to the path of the world of felting. Upon the 1st touch of fine Merino wool fiber, magic happened – I become addicted to fiber – I love felting.
Using a unique process called Nuno felting, I bond fine merino wool, silk fabric, and an array of luxurious fibers into one-of-a-kind shimmering gossamer felted wearable creations, which are playful, sophisticated, elegant, avant-garde, and practical. From large wraps to small neck warmers and different sizes in between, all styles are created from my soul, passion for felting, and completely done by my hands without any use of chemicals.
