Wet Felting or Needle Felting or a combination of these techniques can be used to make artful, beautiful, practical & useful articles.
Here, it all begins with a beautiful Romney fleece from one of the girls on the farm. However, I do purchase exceptional fleeces to blend with our Romney such as Merino, Corriedale, Blue-Faced Leicester and Alpaca. This roving is used for both spinning and felting giving various textures and feels.
100% Romney roving makes a thick, strong felt. Adding Corriedale gives a "spongier" feel: Merino and Alpaca a softer, less dense material.
I dye the white and natural colored roving to produce a wide choice of colors. Blends, whether white or natural collored take up color uniquely to give a "heathery" or dimensional color as opposed to a "flat" color.
Here are a few of our creations.
