Exploring the World of Felting in the Realm of Fiber Arts

Quilters and fabric artists have discovered all types of new techniques to produce projects they might never have imagined years ago.  Fiber and fabric art, that has evolved from quiltmaking, offers fascinating options for one’s talents.

Felting is one of these my daughter is exploring.  You can use a felting machine or do it by a handfelter.  At this point Beth is using the hand method, but has created some very interesting items in her explorations.

She has experimented with yarn, recycled wool, roving and cheesecloth.  Her latest projects involve recycled wool sweaters and recycled wool fabric (like from a skirt or jacket). 

Here are some of her results at her Meandering Threads blog.

This one I call Felting Sampler.

Here’s Felting.
These are More Felted Balls.
