Hi!
Today Iām here with the Q&A Sessions, something I havenāt done for quite some time.
This is where I go through all sorts of questions you have about wet felting.
So, if you have something on your mind that you havenāt been able to solve yet, drop me a line and tell me all about it.
For that,...

Sharing tips, ideas, and experiences from felters who write me emails telling me about their felting projects has been on my mind for a long time.
It's so rewarding to hear from you, whether it's about something you created based on one of my tutorials or just to chat about felt. And I'm always thi...

Iām often asked who I recommend in terms of suppliers for felting materials.
My first recommendation would always be toĀ find a good one near you, a brick and mortar store, where you can see and touch the wool before you buy.
But, not all of us have good felting suppliers around the corner. In fact...
There are thousands of ways you can decorate a wet felted project. Some just involve wool, others can include silk or other fabrics, as you know. This is then called Nuno felting. But today I bring you a sample that contains wool, silk and something else.
I wanted to show you an example of how you ...
Today Iād like to ask for your help.

You plan the piece you want to make.
You draw and cut the resist.
You lay your wool.
Everything is going great, but when you start fulling, your felt just seems to be stuck. Somehow the wool just doesnāt seem to become compact. In fact, nothing seems to happen.
Youāve been felting for hours and ...
As I have been talking about for some time, IāmĀ working on a masterclass about hats.
Deciding what hats to teach about was a hard task. Itās a topic that really allows you to explore your creativity. ThereāsĀ no end to what you can do with felted hats. But I decided to go for the classics. I bet Iāl...
IāmĀ not the kind of person that buys all types of equipmentĀ when I start a hobby. Even though Iāve been felting for 15 years, thereās still so much I havenāt bought, and I probably never will. AndĀ much of the equipment I have invested in, have been purchases Iāve made in the last 3 or 4 years.
I kn...
Are you going crazy with the āwhat is whatā in terms of the wool for felting?
I do my best to avoid insider lingo, but the truth is thereās no escaping. Youāll just have to learn a couple of new terms when it comes to this. Otherwise you risk not getting the right materials for your projects. So he...
