Each Christa Louise creation is its own world of color and texture. Every piece is a unique fusion of pure silk and ultra fine merino wool. All of Christa Louise designs are their own original and have been meticulously hand crafted by village women in Mexico who have been taught the fine art of nuno felting. Nuno, or fabric felting is an art of fusion.
​
The process is all natural, incorporating only soap, water and a specific hand technique. Because this is a wet process, the pieces can be hand washed with a delicate cleanser, line dried and ironed as necessary. The beauty of nuno felting is its weightlessness. Because they apply a light layering of wool, the result is airy and immanently wearable, while still retaining significant warmth.
​
Due to the distinct touch of each woman's hands, every piece is an original, one-of-a-kind creation. By purchasing a Christa Louise design, you help enable them to teach this art form, and subsequently provide employment and empowerment for the women in Mexico who weave these beautiful scarves.
