Wool for Felting - What is Best?

What wool is best for felting? Are you needle felting or wet felting?
Are you have difficulty choosing which wool or fiber will work best for your project?
We will help you make sense of the different types of wool available for felting,
and share some other fibers you might consider as well.

We are often asked "if" a particular wool will felt, or if a particular fiber can be needle felted or wet felted
and our goal is to help you see how a variety of wools felt so you know what to choose for your next felting project.

In this live show, Marie Spaulding bring a variety of types of wool for felting,
along with other fibers used for embellishments.
We will also look at a variety of projects using the fibers so you can see
how they look when wet felted and how they look when needle felted.

I have experimented with different types of wool over the years and found that they all felt differently. Over the last ten years we have been improving the wool in our flock paying special attention to how well it felts. You can rest assured that you are getting the best wool for the best felting experience. The &#;go to&#; wool for everyone is Merino but Merino is not the best for needle felting and can be very frustrating to use for those just beginning this craft.

&#;Bear Creek Wool is the BEST!!! It is the only wool I order to felt animals. It is immaculately clean, soft and silky and excellent to work with. Bear Creek wool &#;behaves&#; easily with no stray fibers sticking out of your project that need to be trimmed and secured. The Romney sheep have fabulous wool that is comforting not only to work with but also for the little person receiving a favorite animal gift. Do not miss the opportunity to work with this wool roving. You will become a fan too.&#; Kay

&#;I received my first order from you today. I can&#;t believe how fast it arrived. I&#;m in love with the felting pad. It&#;s way better than the foam I was using. The biggest surprise is your wool. I didn&#;t have high hopes that it would be any better/different than what I was using. I grabbed a small pinch and felted a little ball with my 40 gauge spiral finishing needle. I can&#;t believe how fast and smoothly it felted! You definitely delivered on your promise of softer too. Wow. Just wow. I couldn&#;t be happier with my purchase and look forward to telling others and ordering from you again. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!&#; Carol
