Description

This roving is buttery soft and perfect for you artfelt projects. This is the standard sized 100% wool roving. These come in 50 gram hanks.

Artfelt in a nutshell:
Artfelt is a new felting technique that combines certain aspects of needle and
wet felting with a new patented paper developed to ease the felting process.
Appropriately named Easyfelt paper, this paper allows one to felt incredibly
simple or complex pieces with nominal space and physical effort. It allows you to
create a felted material that can be either thick or thin, precise or abstract, and it
can all be accomplished with very little experience.

How does Artfelt work?
There are four main steps to the Artfelt process which are covered in detail in both
the written instructions and on the DVD. As a quick overview, the first step is to
design your project and cut your paper to the appropriate size. Shrinkage with
artfelt can be anywhere from nothing to 20%. The next step is to tack the roving
down onto the Easyfelt paper using a barbed needle. It is the Easyfelt paper that
keeps your roving in it's proper position during the felting process. Once the roving is
tacked into place, the piece needs to be saturated with water, rolled up with a
piece of plastic and thrown in the dryer. The tumbling motion and heat of the dryer
will felt your piece. After 15 to 45 minutes, remove from dryer. The piece will now be
felted, but the paper will still be attached. Place your piece in a sink with the paper
side up and pour boiling water over the paper to dissolve it. To finish the piece,
either lay flat to dry, or iron dry.
