Description
Feltmaking is an ancient process that transforms loose wool fibers into a durable, alluring nonwoven fabric. By adding soap and water to the wool, pressing the fibers together, and then vigorously working them until they shrink and strengthen, feltmakers create a unique textile art. Christine White's comprehensive guide covers all aspects of felting, including traditional techniques, equipment, concepts, and theories. The book also features 46 creative projects that showcase the versatility of feltmaking, from handmade bags to lacy curtains made with impossibly sheer cobweb felt. With its simple yet infinite possibilities, feltmaking is a magical adventure that can be learned in an afternoon but will keep enthusiasts fascinated for a lifetime. This book provides the ultimate guide to this unique craft, perfect for those looking to explore the world of felting.
