Handmade VS commercial pre-felts Mar 07, 2026

Let’s talk about pre-felts.

Because I’m curious and I like to test everything, I decided to make a small sample to see how it works. You never know. Sometimes you do something in a c...

How wet felting can contribute to your well-being Sep 29, 2025

Wet felting contributes to our well-being and it can even be therapeutic. It’s been used in the Waldorf method for a long time to cultivate the connection to Nature through a natural material, to engage the senses, develop fine motor skills, concentration and creativity in children.

Anxious to find your own wet felting style? This may help Jun 02, 2025

Like everybody else, when I first started wet felting, I didn’t have a style or a voice. I wasn’t even thinking about having one. I was just trying to figure out how I could make the pieces I saw others do and, above all, understand how wool behaves.

If that’s where you are right now, know that eve...
