Amazing video, so easy to follow! Thank you. I normally buy felt sheets to handmake hair bow clips. How many layers would you recommend to get the same thickness- around 3mm?
I am so excited to find your channel. I recently started wet felting. I have made several vessels using resists. I have been looking for tutorials on making raised textures on the surface. I will look at what you have done and I hope to see more. Thank you.
Check your pre-felt after every round to see if it is stuck together enough. If it is, then your pre-felt is ready. Because I am a very light roller, I don’t always realise how quickly easily the wool can begin to felt. A strong arm will yield partially felted wool more quickly. The solution I think is best is to check it after every rolling round. (After rolling 30x on all four sides of your project) 😊
Hi, you can leave your work damp and then come back to it. You could leave some bubblewrap overtop so that it doesn't completely dry out. If it is dry when you return, best to wet it and add soap before felting. You can leave your project as long as you like. Google Translation: Good morning. Little question. If I felt over several days, should I let my work dry or leave it damp? Thank you so much.
I just discovered your channel. Love your videos! A question about prefelt - do you wash the soap out before it dries or just wash everything together when the project is done?
Oh good question. I don't actually wash my soap out because its a natural soap and it kinda disappears after a few rolls. If it's super soapy, you could easily wash it out if you wanted to. Just rinse it once or a few times in a bowl of cool water, gently so not to agitate it :) You can then dry it on a dry towel.
I have a question for anyone who knows about felting.. I have recently been offered some washed carded sheep's wool & I was wondering how possible it would be to make teddy bear fabric out of it. Basically, I would want to make it so it was more fluffy & then be able to cut the body parts out & sew them together.. Would I wet felt that? dry felt it? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could accomplish this? I am making stuffed animals for my grandkids for Christmas & I thought how cool would it be to make them with natural organic materials? Thanks in advance.. Fyi the faces would be embroidered on ( I would cover with some stabilizer so it didn't get mashed into the fabric so much.)
Hi Kimberly, I have also thought of this idea before because I wanted to make a fleece like texture out of my wool roving - hopefully someone can give you a more positive answer, but I didn't figure it out and know that felting the fibre will only yield a flat matted felt texture. Options for felting it is, you could add mohair to the surface before felting it or another type of fibre that has a fluffy finish.
@@muffsmerino That is why I am wondering if needle felting might be a better option & you would possibly use the backside? where it would be more fluffy? I don't need to be combed out totally hairy :) but just more fur like.. Honestly it's the organic aspect I thought would be awesome for my grand's :) some of the felting pieces though like you have there would work for some of the things I see where you can use felt :)
@@Kimzworld1 Needle felting would be softer then wet felting it. But hand felting fabric so that its strong by needle may take quite some time depending on how large you need it to be!
@@muffsmerino I honestly think maybe it was possible to just do the felting with a machine first & then cut the pieces apart ( I would be making these animals in the hoop on the embroidery machine it makes it so much easier to keep everything accurate :)
This all got in my head because I bought a new embroidery/sewing machine & it has a felt kit you can buy for it . In my research A the kit is 60 bucks & b I thought why would I want to felt ( other than small jobs) & take the risk of gunking up my machine.. I honestly think you could take a sewing machine cover the feed dogs put in a felting needle & do the same thing :) the kit for my machine only has 1 needle anyway :) so that is my plan I will try to remember to come back & let you know if it works :)

Thanks! Your videos and ideas are inspiring :)

Definitely two to three sheets of the prefelt. One is quite thin :)

Awesome! I hope the videos continue to be helpful. I have planned at least 30 surface techniques plus many more felting how to’s. It’s all coming!

Bonjour. Petite question. Si je feutre sur plusieurs jours, dois je laisser sécher mon travail ou le laisser humide? Merci beaucoup.
