HOW CAN I FELT MY FABRIC?
Brush up on your technique with our simple guide…
Felting is a magical way to transform fluffy wool into a thick mat of fibres – many of us discover it by accident when we shrink a woollen make in the wash! But did you know that there are different ways to ‘felt’ your wool on purpose?
There’s wet felting, which involves placing the wool in hot soapy water (in a bowl or a washing machine) to make it felt. Tumble dryer felting is a variation of this, where you place the wet wool project in your tumble dryer to felt it. Then there’sdry felting, or needle felting, where you use a sharp needle to entangle specific fibres and mat them together.
