Let\u2019s get started with the new 14.5 micron wool<\/h2>

Hi everybody, here I am once again to tell you all about my 3 days at the workshop.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

As you surely have seen, last week (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) we organized 2 nuno felt workshops taught by <\/span>Cristina Pacciani<\/span><\/strong> and held at the Museo del Tessuto.<\/span>
I was lucky enough to take part both as a member of the <\/span>DHG<\/span><\/a><\/strong> team and as a student, so I was able to start improving my professional knowledge of this world as well as satisfying my own curiosity since, as you well know, I love challenges and experimenting with new things.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

First of all, <\/span>during these three days at the workshop I<\/span><\/strong>, along with my fellow students (who were much better than me), experimented and attempted to make two shawls using our <\/span>14.5 micron wool<\/span><\/a><\/strong> in exclusive preview for which we have worked out a new color card with 26 shades, all of which are pastels, that will further expand our already great color range.<\/span>
I know that I am directly involved in this, but please believe me when I say that the colors are beautiful and so is our wool, which, despite having such a small micron gauge (very close to that of cashmere) has a very interesting yield and felting capacity: to give you an idea, for my very first shawl (pictured above) <\/span>I used a total of 80 grams of 14.5 micron wool<\/span><\/strong> on a base of 6mm chiffon measuring 250cmx65cm. I have no experience in this but, also based on what Cristina said, it is a really good result and you, being more experienced than me, will be able to use even less.<\/span>
Moreover, thanks to this workshop I was able to understand and learn about the great variety of ways and materials which can be used to create different effects or add a three-dimensional feel, and how any object, apparently very distant from this world, can be useful to create something unique.<\/span><\/p>

This great experience was made even better by the extraordinary location: our very own <\/span>Museo del Tessuto<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. I felt honored to be part of it over those 3 days, because a part of me and of my roots is in the museum: in the machinery on display, in the smell of things, in the images being projected I find memories from my childhood and the stories told by my grandparents and by my father come alive again, as if they were still here to tell them.<\/span>
I thank all of the girls at the Museum for welcoming me and all of us to their world and letting us use their wonderful workspace.<\/span><\/p>

Well, I think I should stop now, because I have probably bored you already with my amateurish talk. However, I hope I have made you want <\/span>to try our 14.5 micron wool at least once<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span>
Finally, I would like to thank Gaia and my colleagues for making this great experience possible, and Agnese for photographing my \u201cworks\u201d so well as to make them enjoyable. Be kind to me, as I said I am very inexperienced\u2026<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

Until next time,<\/span>
Donatella<\/span><\/p>
