Flat Needle Felting

It’s winter, we wear wool sweaters so let’s continue working with wool felt.  Our November program on making Felted Beads presented by Wendy Bagley and Joan Muller was very successful and well received.  Wendy and Joan have agreed to present a related program on flat needle felting.  Materials will be provided and there will be a $5.00 materials fee to cover the special needles.

Wendy and Joan suggest you look around for wool textiles that can be repurposed for flat needle felting and bring them along, a suggestion might be part of an old wool blanket or wool shirt.  If you decide to recycle some wool be sure to “felt” it before the meeting by washing in hot water, rinse in cold, and agitate the fibers to ensure felting.

Check out these pictures of lovely creations by Wendy and Joan.  Be thinking about an image or idea that you might like to create, perhaps a landscape or an animal.  Your creations can be embellished with stitchery, beads and yarns.

For additional information about wool, we can recommend two books:

Peggy Hart – ”

Wool, Unraveling an American Story of Artisans and Innovation”

Clara Parkes – “Vanishing Fleece, Adventures in American Wool”
