Wet Felting 101

We'll be introducing you to the very beginnings of wet felting.

What is wet felting?

Wet felting is a process used to make wool and other animal fibers into the dense fabric known as felt. The process involves the application of warm, soapy water, which causes layers of fleece placed at 90 degree angles to one another to hook together into a single piece of fabric. After the wet felting process is complete, the felted project is finished by fulling, or agitating the fibers on a rough surface such as a washboard. The felted fabric can then be dried and used to make accessories or garments.
