The Dodo Blog
I love experimenting, but I must admit that in one area of wet felting Iāve been pretty conservative. In over 20 years of felt making, I have only worked with wool from 2 breeds: Merino and Bergschaf.
So, both for my own growth, as well as to help my students with their questions, Iāve been having ...

You may know that for many years Iāve had a list of suppliers for wool and wet felting equipment that I offer in my courses and as a download on my website. Itās based on my own experience buying wool online, as well as on recommendations from students and followers.
Whether new felt makers email m...
This week Iām answering the question: āHow do I make thin felt from 2 layers of wool without getting holes in my felt?ā
The way I see it, there may be a couple of different reasons youāre getting holes in your fine felt:
- Your layout is uneven,
- Youāre doing your layout on bubble wrap,
- Or youāre ...
Iām working on a new class that is meant to help felt makers go all the way (smoothly) from total beginner to intermediate. If youāve recently started wet felting or youāve been felting for a while, but still feel like there are many gaps in your knowledge, this may be for you.
But Iāll need some t...
Today weāre looking at what I see as the last two pieces of the pricing puzzle. If you havenāt read the first part of this series, I recommend you do so, since todayās blog post builds on the first one.
But, before we start, Iād like to address the questions I got from last weekās article. They mai...
You probably know me as a wet felting teacher, because I havenāt sold my work for a long time. But, for years, I mainly felted and offered my pieces in markets, on Etsy and in shops specializing in handmade items.
Lately, Iāve been considering going back to creating work to sell. And this has made ...
Have you noticed the BABY classes are back?
Many of you have been asking to have the baby booties class separately. Youāve also showed interest in having it available āon demandā, which is understandable, since babies grow fast š
So, Iāve listened to your requests and created two separate classes:...
Have you ever had one of these issues while wet felting?
- You used bubble wrap to roll a nuno felted piece and it left circular marks on your project.
- You fulled a cobweb scarf in the washing machine and it came out unrecognizable.
- You rolled a nuno felted piece on a bamboo mat only to discover ...
Years ago, I wrote a couple of blog posts about prefelts, but there are many details I didnāt mention back then. Since I still get a lot of questions about the topic, I thought it would make sense to write a new, more complete and up to date series.
This first part caters to new felt makers, who I ...
