ALTERKNITS
FELT
by Leigh Radford
|
There’s something magical about felting knits .. you start with a piece of fabric that looks and feels
a certain way, and by exposing it to water and agitation, you finish with one that looks and feels
completely different! This fascinating transformation is what led the author, Leigh Radford (former ArtDirector
for Interweave Knits magazine), to begin felting years ago; and has kept her intrigued by the process ever since.
Now, in AlterKnits Felt, Radford pushes the boundaries of traditional felting, as she did with traditional knitting
in her previous book, AlterKnits. Through 30 colorful and vibrant projects, she shows readers how to knit and then
felt their own handiwork, as well as how to create gorgeous felted objects from recycled knits and unspun fiber.
An introductory chapter on felting basics explains everything that you need to know to make the fabulous clothes,
accessories, and home decor items that follow, as you explore and learn the art and craft of felting.
