Wet Felting For Beginners: Learn How to Make A Piece of Felt Fabric with This Basic Wet Felting Tutorial


Wet Felting (aka Wool Felting) is one of my all-time favorite hobbies! It is one of those activities (like gardening) where I get completely lost. There is something very peaceful and zen in taking plain sheep wool, mohair or alpaca fiber and magically creating a unique piece of colorful fabric. Each piece of handmade felt is completely unique because there simply is no way that you can duplicate the many intricacies of each lock of wool. Even if you use the exact same type and color of wool, the outcome will be different. Those little fibers have a mind of their own! Not only that but if you use processed wool roving instead of locks, you get a completely different texture yet. Honestly, felting wool is like magic as you watch the individual fibers and hairs bind together to make fabric that you can cut or sew into clothing.
