Nuno felting often combines several layers of loose fibers to build up the finished fabric color, texture, and design elements.
The felting process is particularly suitable for creating lightweight fabrics used to make clothing.
Fabrics such as nylon, muslin, or other open weaves can be used as the felting background, which results in varying textures and colors.
It can be made much lighter in weight than traditional all-wool felt, accounting for its movement and drape.
