Felting

I have been kind of obsessed with wool lately and wanted to try a little felting.  I found a book at the library  called Simple Felt  by: Jayne Emerson and Margaret Docherty .  It really is a good source for begginer and advanced felters.
To make a sheet of felt you need wool roving, soap (I used dish soap), a bamboo mat or blind (I bought mine for $5) and lots of hot water.  I worked outside because it can get messy.

I had some BFL roving in my stash that I used.

                                      


Here is the finished product.


It is amazing how something so soft and fluffy can tun into somthing so flat and strong.  I was planning on using the felt for a project from the magic fairy wool class but I don't think I will.  For my first time I am really pleased with how it came out.  I can't wait to make more!
