Felting is a process that transforms wool fibers into a dense, matted fabric through the application of heat, moisture, and agitation. When wool is subjected to these conditions, the tiny scales on the fibers interlock, creating a strong and durable material. This technique can be used to make various items, including clothing, accessories, and decorative pieces. There are two main types of felting: wet felting and needle felting. Wet felting involves soaking wool in soapy water and then rubbing or rolling it to encourage the fibers to bond. Needle felting, on the other hand, uses a special barbed needle to tangle the fibers together, allowing for more detailed designs and shapes.
