Felting and Needle Felting, Felting Supplies, Needle Felting Supplies, Felting Needles, Felting Fibers, Felting Kits, Needle Felting KitsFELTING is an age-old craft. Perhaps developed in the Middle East, perhaps the Far East, it is a process that has evolved with local traditions wherever it was used. And it is still used today, by kids in kindergarten to nomads on the great plains of Asia living in felt yurts. The technique is basic, requires very little experience or tools, and "mistakes" may well lead to interesting results. The Woolery brings you products and information about feltmaking and needle felting. Have fun! WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE FELT: WHAT YOU NEED TO NEEDLE FELT: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FELTING, FULLING AND NEEDLEFELTING? FELTING or FELTMAKING means that you are working from the fiber (most often sheep's wool) to make a felted fabric or product using soap and water; there is no knitting, crocheting or weaving involved. FULLING or KNITFELTING is achieved by knitting a garment and then shrinking it, filling (hence the term "fulling") the holes between the stitches. This fulling can be done on crocheted or woven items as well. Check our knitting books for many projects that are knitted and then "felted". NEEDLEFELTING, unlike felting, does not require soap and water; it is accomplished by using felting needles to make figurines or apply additional fibers to decorate fabric or garments (those can be made of felted material or knitted, crocheted or woven material). |
