Whether used to make hats, slippers, blankets or jackets, felt is a wonderfully flexible, resistant, pliable and versatile medium. It can appear in the subtle hues of natural fleece, or be dyed in rich, vibrant tints. In this book, felt can be used to create objects as diverse as accessories, clothing, hangings, sculptures and toys. A comprehensive techniques section includes all the basics, such as carding your own fleece, flat felting and rolling. The book contains 25 specially designed felt projects illustrated with step-by-step photographs to instruct the reader in every stage of preparation. Each project is an inspiring and original work in its own right, and collectively the pieces represent a complete course in working with felt, from beginner level to advanced.
