Felting
Create cozy accessories, wearable art, small sculpted figures, felted balls and works of fine art when you interlock wool fibers with wet or dry (needle) felting methods and a few supplies. The wet felting process uses water, agitation and heat to bond the fibers. Add layers of beautiful wool roving to delicate silks for flowing nuno felted garments.
In dry felting, tools with barbed needles lock bits of wool together to create unique projects. It’s easy for beginners to get started with needle felting. So gather some wool felt and roving and start painting with wool.
