Suzanne, The accidental felter

When I tell people that I became a needle felter by accident, I'm not kidding! My friend, Barb Marr had taught me to do Locker Hooking. I made about 13 2'x3' rugs. I had a great time, but I wanted to do more. I crochet only in the very basic sense of the word, and don't knit at all. So it was obvious to her that the options were pretty limited in what she could share with me. Barb encouraged me to purchase the Wingham Felting Tool. She didn't really instruct me on how to felt with it, nor did I buy any instructions. I went home and made 3 hats, took them back to Barb and Gene to get their opinion. They told me that I was doing something a bit different. Hence, the accidental needle felter. I've since designed a soft hat form, 2' x 3' rug form, shawl form, and a few other things, that can be made by someone like myself, with little or no skill in knitting or crocheting, or even sewing. Needle felting has opened up the world of wool and fiber to me and I am so grateful. You can wear it, walk on it, hang it, drape it, give it as gifts, the ideas are endless. Everything is done with a simple barbed needle. Is that exciting? If you are interested in becoming a needle felter yourself, please contact us. Who knows, you might have the next big idea that makes you an accidental needle felter.
