A Bit More Felt.

As I'm on the subject of felt, and in response to Alice, or Mrs M as she prefers to be known, I thought you might like to see this.

    Amazing!
    No wonder my puny efforts on the kitchen table didn't pan out.

    Good gracious, they made a house! So tell me, is the Dogdaisychains residence made of cloth? Perhaps you're a friend of Uncle Feedle?

    Fantastic, I really enjoyed that - though I did wonder how much tiny 'wildlife' ends up living in the felt. Yet another reason why wool is the king of materials (IMO).

    Mind blowing! What a wonderful world we live in, in terms of being able to communicate like this and be able to tap a few taps on a keyboard to watch such craftmanship. Thanks Jackie, I wouldn't have seen this had it not been for following your blog. x

    When I see this film I can really laugh at myself because I find it very hard to make a decent little piece of felt. Nevertheless it is wonderful to see.

    Thank you for showing this - I have photos of a Yurt felt house - our son stayed a few nights in one in Kyrgyzstan some time ago - so it's interesting to see how they are made.
    He didn't mention ticks, but said the floor mattresses and covers were immaculate.

    Amazing!

    Felt is something I really like the idea of, and I do enjoy it when forced to make it - but I never quite carry on with it at home...

    Thank you for visiting my new blog :)

    That is fantastic. There is a yurt holiday project near here, wonder if they make the felt themselves! Do hope the sheep got his legs untrussed.
