Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2018
- This is a great beginner project for wet felting, and you will learn how to wet felt a fun, textural and one of a kind scarf. We have a kit for this here: feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com...
This video is sped up in several places. We also have a real time version that is just over 2 hours, it was recorded during a live felt-a-long and may be more helpful for 1st timers. The camera angles are slightly different and we answer participant questions while we work. It is currently available here: www. livingfelt under videos. - Навчання та стиль

Loved this very helpful video. Great to learn different and more helpful approaches. I want to add that it's hard to mess up projects like this! Especially if one is willing to think outside the box. One scarf ended up looking much better as a table runner so now I have a beautiful table runner. Thanks for your video.
Marie, thank you very much for your video. I love watching and learning.💕
I LOVE your craft room! Lol it’s the one I want in my dreams ❤️ anyway thanks for sharing your craft with us. I’m a crochet person but will do this for sure!
Hi Marie and Living Felt! I love your teaching style and the videos you provide that include wet felting and all types of needle felting. You've inspired me to get a Cobweb Scarf kit and try my luck. Thank you Jan
How wonderful, Jan! We are so happy you will explore and grateful for your very nice note. Thank you!
Best "How To" video I have ever seen.....thank you!
Wow, Dorothy, thank you for this very nice comment
Marie - I having been watching all your videos, and I am so excited to start felting in a Nuno Wet Felting class in Novato, CA. Thank you for all your tutorials, which are giving me so much information and techniques to use. Thanks again
So glad to hear it, Charlene! Wishing you LOTS of fun!!
Loved the scarf CANT wait to make one for myself😀
OMG. Thank you for sharing your time and talents. I recently was at a craft show and saw a vendor selling her creations. Fell(felted) 😍 in love.

Please join us in our group: www.fb.com/groups/livingfeltfriends LOTS of lovely folks there to encourage and inspire you :)
I love that!!
If the students understand the actual felting process then all the activities of rubbing and soaping makes sense. I mean that info about how the fibres are altered by wetting and agitation. The nature of protein fibres to heat, wettness, and agitation is the most important info, then all the techniques of rolling, rubbing, hot water, etc. actually activate that process.
Thank you for watching. We do not cover "what is felt" or the science of felt making in every video because a lot of our friends felt with us every week on our live show, and also this video is about "how to felt a ____ (thing)" vs. being an introduction/first video about the felt making process. With the number of videos we make...covering that information in every video that would get a bit redundant. So jump in where ever you are in your experience of felt making, and most of all, we hope you HAVE FUN learning and exploring the wonders of felting.
Thank you SO much for this video! I'm in Ft. Worth and look forward to taking a class with yall! 💙🌀💙

Gorgeous... now I need to make one as well

Oh goody I'm going to like this
This was great, Thanks
Cheers, Gloria, thank you :)
Thank you!very helpful 😘
Our pleasure!
how do you get a long length of blended wool like this
Hi! I LIVe your videos. For the scarves, how do you make them not scratchy? Thank you.
Saw a video where bubble wrap was put down then tulle wool then more tulle. Why would you need tulle under wool and over both? Thank you
Just making sure..all fibres go same direction? Thanks!
if not buying your kit is there a way to make sure the wool im buying will be in a length long enough for the base? and is there a way to make our own blends in such a long length at home, all the blending tutorials i see are for smaller quantities of wool, or does such a quantity need different equipment than most hobbiests would have
If it was a brown or green colour it would look so much like real seaweed. Beautiful.
I made somethiing very similar to what you are describing once for a large wall hanging...meant to emulate kelp :)
I'd like to order a kit and make this. I need a kit, because I don't have any of my own yarn, or stash. Will it turn out OK with just the kit?
Thank you so much for these helpful tutorials! I'm a beginner and I've noticed that my wet felting projects come out "fuzzy/hairy". Is this because of the type of wool roving or maybe due to the high pressure I'm putting on the fibers? I have been wet felting small projects with a spray bottle, olive soap, small bubble wrap and a bamboo mat. I tend to roll roughly/hard overall. Any suggestions are highly appreciated and thanks again!
Hello how strong is wet felting.. can you make like a queen sided blanket with this method
Well made felt is incredbly strong, but durability will vary based on fiber used. Even rugs can be felted from wool. Consider Yurts made by nomadic peoples, winter coats, hats and valenki made for Russian winters. A large blanket is a very large undertaking, the feltmaker must know their materials, including the shrinkage rate. There are a few ways you could go about it...we suggest starting with small samples = pot holders, placemats and table runners. It will help you consider the materials, tools, time and space required for such a large undertaking. It will help you learn how to felt and allow you to evauluate the durability of your felt. A blanket must be well felted or it will pill and wear badly. You must also consider Care...how will you wash it? It can only be soaked/ rinsed and spun out...not put in wash or dry cycles unless you are prepared for further shrinkage..and sometimes poor results if the felt shrinks unevenly.
Do you have photos of all the color choices that are listed? I’d love to buy a kit.
Oh I found the color choices!
Hi Jeannine -- thank you for this question. At this time, the exact fibers for each scarf kit are not shown at this time, however you will see the silk blends we use in the pull down menu and then you can see those on this page: feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/Merino-Silk-Blends_c_13.html
What does the bubble wrap help with? I see the bubbles are touching the felt, why?
The bubbles help with the agitation, in a very gentle way :)
I'm glad you dont have the music..lol...do you buy this roving like this
It comes from the mill like this, and we sell it like this ... here feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/Merino-Silk-Blends_c_13.html
What would we use if we don’t have a spin dryer?
You can spin out in your washer, or just roll it up and squeeze out the water :)
❤❤❤❤❤
Can you add a subscribe button please. Not visible here in Australia. Loved the cobweb scarf video. Excellent explanation of the process. Thank you.
Hi helend222, we thought we replied to this.... thanks for the suggestion. It is in the bottom right corner...get into the video a few minutes and it will be there :)
How do you know how much wool and yarns to use?
Hi Karen, for this project, we use approximately 1.5oz of the base fiber. You can make one and then weigh it...then decide to make it wider, longer, shorter etc. and adjust amount of fiber accordingly. With yarns and embellishments, we have no measure, just play with it and have fun!
Which colour is this one please?
This color is DAMSON It is a Merino Silk Blend.
I put it in a zippered mesh laundry bag or pillow case then include it in with laundry, both washing machine and dryer.
😊
What is novelty yard?
Novelty yarn.... non-wool, often very decorative with interesting character :)
why didn't you cross or shingle the layer of roving?
This is a special layout method for this particular project = a cobweb effect, to create the thin, holey layout, and to take advantage of the long color stripes in the wool. If we shingled, we would lose that distinction.
