The Process The process of felting is a pretty simple process with many steps. For a scarf - Sketch a design - Find the wool and foundation clothe which can be hand dyed silk or cotton gauze - Draft or separate out the wool roving and lay it out on the foundation clothe - Lay out the project on the rolling pad and cover with wetting clothe - Wet with soapy warm water and message. - Roll and Roll and Roll - Then rinse with out agitation and hang dry |
