Felting is a magical transformation that takes place when heat, moisture and agitation are applied to wool. The result is a matted, non-woven seamless product of both comfort and style. This class begins with a historical overview and discussion of suitable fleeces, preparation of wool and various methods of felting. Using washed and carded wool, you'll prepare batts, and then with the use of a washboard, hot soapy water and a lot of elbow grease, you'll start to bring shape and form to the brimmed hat of your choice. Colors, weight and style all blend together as you design and create your own headwear.
