Felting is an adventure in creativity. If you can think it, you can probably felt it.

My felting adventures have just begun and remain at the basic skills level. I have to say that it is a very lovely way to use fiber, especially if you have a lot of fiber to use! I have so many fiber types to choose from, it makes felting a continuous experiment. My purpose in making felted objects is to create items that are entirely functional and will add joy and comfort to our every day routines.

My adventure in felting is constantly evolving. I am currently making rugs. These have a thick wool felt backing and are layered with wool locks from my flock of sheep. This creates a thick, but lightweight rug that has a ton of texture and depth, is rugged and fully machine washable. Even the largest rug size I create (about 4’6” by 7-8’) can be washed using the hand wash or delicates cycle on most front loading machines (I do not recommend using a top loading washer to wash the rugs). The rugs seem to find homes pretty quickly once they leave the shop and I am hoping that they are making their owers smile every day.

In addition to rugs, I am also making some wearable felts, scarves and shrugs. Most of the fiber used comes from my group of mixed up sheep, but some is sourced from neighboring shepards with fiber types not found in my flock.
