Wet Felting
Wet felting is a textile art technique that involves using water, soap, and friction to transform loose wool fibers into a solid fabric. The process begins by layering the wool in different directions, then adding warm, soapy water. By agitating the fibers through rubbing or rolling, the scales on the wool open up and interlock, creating a dense material.
This method is often used to make items like scarves, hats, and bags. Wet felting is accessible to beginners and allows for creativity, as artists can incorporate various colors and textures into their designs, resulting in unique, handcrafted pieces.
