Whether used to make hats, slippers, blankets or jackets, felt is a wonderfully flexible, resistant, pliable and versatile medium for any crafter to use.
It can appear in the subtle hues of natural fleece, or be dyed in rich, vibrant tints for extra impact. A comprehensive techniques section includes all the basics, such as carding your own fleece, flat felting and rolling, while the projects explore further applications – from appliqué and embroidery on commercially bought felt, felting woollen textiles or machine-knitting, to working with moulds to create slippers and hats.
