Extra soft felt in Alpaca and Angora wool

Carded wool is transformed into a surface

Duration: 8 hours

Public: Adults (16+)

An introduction to the technique of felting with soap and water. You will learn how to card and prepare wool for felting and make a felted scarf from alpaca and Angora rabbit wool!

An extra-soft creation to keep you warm this winter. We'll work with the natural colours of angora rabbit wool: silver grey and white, and alpaca wool: caramel, pinkish grey and beige.

These exceptionally soft wools are also incredibly fine, so they can be used to create a fine, supple felt. They also felt very easily, making them ideal for a first felted wool project!

-Discover the different types of wool (Merino sheep, alpaca, angora) and their respective qualities.

- Carding wool and preparing it for felting.

- Felting with soap and water.
