Wet felting with wool batts
Today I’m going to talk about how to felt with wool batts. And I’m looking into a couple of questions in particular:
- Is there a direction to the fiber in wool batts?
- Do wool batts shrink as much as wool tops?
I know there are different opinions about the direction of the fiber in wool batts. So, I thought it would make sense to test it and see what happens.
While I’ve been working with batts for a very long time, I’ve always mixed them with tops in my work. So, I had never really looked into this in detail.
Adding to that, I often get questions about how to work with batts. That’s why I decided to make these samples and see how the wool behaves.
I hope you find them useful for your work. I’d also love to know if you agree with me or not.
So, feel free to comment or to drop me an email on this.
