Combined needle felting and wet felting going on today... and more members both little and big. The wet 2-D stuff can get messy with lots of water all over the place, but the results are worth it. This is the start of so many things you can do with this fantastic material.
And also lots of friction needed. This is a bamboo blind that you can pick up very cheaply and it's the best thing for rolling the felt so that it shrinks.
And voila! the finished piece by crafter Clare...you can use this to make all sorts of things with some needle and thread, or just keep it the way it is.
The wool that I use in the workshops is Merino 70's which is super soft and I get it from Wingham Wool Works. It needs to be carded first before it's made into felted pieces. I'll have to get a picture of this process the next time we have a felt making gathering.
