Ann’s Nuno Challenge

Well im just getting in just in the nick of time for Ann’s nuno challenge
As I was just practising I used some scrap material and I have no idea what sort it is, although it did have a bit sparkle, its really soft to so this is it

Not sure if it was the sheen on it or not but it was horrible to felt lol
I wanted to use white trilobal nylon and was hoping it would pucker and thicken so I could cut it out and use for making flowers for my next project, well that didn’t work and after about 1 hour of rubbing It ended up like this

Didn’t adhere to anything so I gave up on that lol
Then I pulled out some merino and as most of my things are still packed in boxes and I couldn’t be bothered going through every box , I grabbed what was close and it happened to be blue, this was much quicker to felt and it shrunk by at least 50%

Not the best colors I know but it worked ok, its quite strong, I’ll definitely give this another go but ill use some silk next, Ann did send me a gorgeous piece last Christmas and I was going to use it but im so glad I didn’t because I would hate to have ruined it. I need way more practise before I use something so lovely lol
