I have made some felt bunnies - I made them using tops from haldanes. I wanted to use the bunnies as appliques in a larger felt piece (as a small rug or a blanket) - this was meant to be made using fresh sheep fleece.
The fleecs is from a suffolk - so not a great quality fleece and a short staple(its our pet sheep)
However I seem to fail to make a piece of felt - what I get is lumpy not quite felt not quite wool mush with holes all over it.
Have you ever made felt from a fleece and have you any tips? Heather
Pretty bouquet, and it does look so lovely in the little jug!
ReplyDeleteThe jug is Stella's; I'm hoping she forgets to ask for it back.....
