| Felting is an ancient art,
but needle felting is the newest phenomenon and is it ever catching on
in the needle arts world. It is a creative process that
appears magical using just a few simple tools, instructions and your
creativity. As you jab your felting needle down through the wool
fibers, the barbs on the needle grab onto the fibers, entangling and
interlocking them, felting them down permanently. Unlike wet
felting, which uses which uses soap, water, and lots of agitation, this
dry felting technique uses only the needle. Use many short
fast jabs and remember the angle at which you pierce the fibers is the
angle at which they will felt. The longer you jab, the denser the
felt. You will be amazed at your creative ability and the magic of
the dry felt technique! You are actually sculpting the fiber using
the felting needle. |
