Needle Felting & Wet Felting

Our neighbour Ann who is a knitter and spinner was very generous and gave us a ziplock bag full of roving. The BigH and LittleE spent a lot of time making beautiful ornaments for our tree.



Felting needles are very sharp with little burrs on them to help the wool lock together.



LittleE hard at work.

And the felted soap.

The hot water and soap help to shrink the wool around the soap and make it so soft. Wool has antibacterial properties.
