Wet felting: how to know when your felt is finished
Jun 26, 2026Have you ever wondered whether your wet felted project is actually finished?
Many felt makers worry about over-felting, but more often than not, the real problem is stopping too early. Under-fulled felt is more likely to pill, lose its shape, and wear out faster.
While your eyes and hands get used to making this distinction as you have more experience felting, there are some telltale signs (some more obvious than others) that help you decide when to put down your project.
In this video, I'll show you 6 ways to recognize when your felt is ready, so you can stop relying on guesswork and start trusting your own eyes and hands.
If you’d like a more detailed reference guide, I’ve also created a free downloadable resource where you’ll find additional signs and tips to help you build confidence in recognizing finished felt in your own work.
