Have you seen needle felting and wondered how they created such gorgeous, textured designs in wool? It involves a special felting needle being used to stab and agitate wool fibers, so they join and bond together. The great thing about the process is that it is relaxing, creative, and just plain fun. As you work your scene begins to develop into an enchanting design. The process is not difficult to learn, especially with an instructor who has many years of experience. People in prior classes were able to customize their designs during the session, each creating a unique personalized piece from the design provided. You will have three choices in designs (which can be found in the link below). The kit includes all the materials and tools necessary to complete your chosen design. This includes a full spectrum of wool rovings.  If you are unfamiliar with the term “rovings” it’s the wool fibers that are processed but not yet spun into yarn. It’s usually soft, fluffy and comes in a long narrow bundle. It is available in many colors. The instructor will assist you through each step of the process offering individual help as needed. You’ll also receive written instructions, with photographs, to ensure that you can complete both the original design and to continue to use the techniques to complete other designs as well. When you register, let Lynn know which of the three designs you’d like to complete. She will prepare a kit just for you. Be sure to bring something for lunch during class.
