Felting Soft Hats - The Beret

I’ve been felting berets for years. But I was never completely happy with the ones I made.

The issue wasn’t the shape or design, but they never draped like I wanted.

Sure, I used an 18-micron merino and I laid thinly, but there’s always a certain stiffness to felt.

The search for a soft drapable beret led me to try viscose. I experimented and tried combinations of different amounts of wool and viscose, as well as different layout methods, until I finally achieved what I was looking for.

In this class I invite you to join me in exploring techniques that will open up many new possibilities for your future wet felting projects.
