It is a gift.
I am still amazed at how much these shrink in the making - this one started out as nearly 70 inches long and shrunk 20, in addition to 6 inches of shrinkage on the sides.
Making one of these is really a work out. I think I'll need to let my shoulders recoup before my next one!

that first picture makes me feel it. it is beautiful.
Oh I'm glad you get the feel of it. I am really pleased with how it's turned out - very light, soft, sheer in places and multi-textural.
I think you've got a knack for black and white - this is SO striking! Would love to try my hands at nuno-ing one of these days and this piece just nudges me onward some more. Lucky recipient ;>}
Thank you! When the wool finally adheres to the fabric, shrinking it and creating texture - that is worth all the effort.
Your nuno scarves will make beautiful gifts. (I know what you mean about the work these take, though!!) Happy Holidays to you and yours!!
