Felt
in the round
Why felt?
Felt is an ancient textile made with all natural
and renewable materials, is a pleasure to work with and is enjoying a modern
renaissance with many innovative items being produced. Most of it is made in
flat sheets either by hand or with modern machinery.
Why felting in the round?
Margaret developed a method of making balls in
solid wool using dry felting and wet felting techniques. Friends were so
intrigued to learn how they were made that she decided to write:
Felting in
the round an introduction
with All balls
A second book was written describing how a Teddy
bears picnic was made as a contribution to a local Tactile Textile Exhibition:
Bears,
buttons and beyond

They contain some fresh, modern ideas on an
ancient craft using dyed wool tops that do not require any special skills nor any expensive equipment other than use of a washing
machine. It is a craft that is already enjoyed
by crafters from 10 to 80 plus!
