Technique
It is the process by which non-woven textile is produced by matting, condesing and pressing of fibres together. Felt comes in 2 types of materials: natural (wool) and synthetic (acrylic).
Relevant materials
– Natural fibers: Wool; Yarn
– Felting needle
– Sponge
Process
- WET FELTING
2. NEEDLE FELTING
Reflection:
- Wet felting is hard to control, the fibers always move around.
- Poked myself couple of times with then needle when puncturing the felt
- Solution: Using a contraption/ another needle to hold the felt in place and puncturing it with the other hand as seen from the process image.
