The Felting Process



1.  Lay out roving - un-spun wool - as a base.  Place a screen on top and wet out with hot soapy water.

2.  Add desired colour and texture to the base surface.

3.  Replace the screen with bubble wrap and rub the surface with pressure.

4.  Once the wool has shrunk into cloth, rub your project vigorously over the bubble wrap, using the wrap like a washboard.

4.  Wrap your project back up in screen and rinse soap out under hot running water.

5.  Shape and allow to dry.
