Complete Feltmaking
By Gillian Harris
|
Felt is an ancient craft, dating back to the Bronze Age. It is the oldest textile fabric
and was made before people learned to spin, weave or knit. Hand-made felt has an entirely
different quality to the machine-made felt found in craft stores. It is a chunky, more
hardwearing and can be made in a variety of designs and colors- it does not fray, so no
sewing is required. And any crafter can learn the art of creating felt with a little fleece,
water and soap. This exciting new book covers all aspects of feltmaking, from making simple
flat felt, to felting 3-d shapes, as well as felting knitted work, needle felting and
some more advanced techniques. Each technique is carefully explained in detail with
step-by-step instructions and photographs.
