Felting workshop. Brightly-coloured scarves in soft merino fibres — Felted scarves & flowers in gorgeous colours

Friday was felting workshop day. Wet-felting is a traditional skill which creates a strong but soft fabric from loose wool fibres. Felt is an ancient fabric; the process dates back thousands of years. It is incredibly hard-wearing and has been used for all manner of items from clothing and footwear to housing!
