Newbie here!

Hi everyone,

You all seem such a nice friendly bunch of people that I thought I'd
just jump straight in and not lurk!

I've just bought myself a pair of carders and some wool tops. I'm not
a spinner or a knitter but I did make some felt for the first time
last week and am not too unhappy with it! I need more practice but I
found it to be pretty messy so I have to do it when the weather's
nice.

Anyone else here make much in the way of felt?

Congrats to Slinky and Sarah on your new wheels!

As for me, I'm 32 and currently live in Kent in the UK and hope to be
moving to Devon in the next 6 months.

Nice to meet you all!

Regards,
Lindsay

Welcome Lindsay...another spinner and weaver here, although I don't do much
felting, only when the mood takes me..lol

Sure you'll find many on here with similar fancies.

Lucky you moving to Devon...what part?

Cheers.....Cher Melksham.

Welcome to this group, from grey Lancashire. I hope it brightens up as i
really need to wash some fleece- it is rather too fragrant.

I am definitely no felt expert but i did a recent workshop on it- we made a bag
using shelf liners from Ikea and some netting. I was a bit excessive with the
soap so it was a little sudsy but the finished product is great- a small bag,
scarlet inside, grey outside with a small design in silk threads and scarlet
wool.

I bought a great felted sheep at the wool fair but it looks like the dog may
have played with it...

Congrats to Slinky and Sarah on your new wheels!
Thank you! I am sooo chuffed- it is sitting next to me and i can't stop
stroking it or hugging me delicious smelling shetland fleece (not the
wensleydale as that is not delicious smelling lol)

Regards
Sarah

Welcome, Lindsay. You're right - we are a friendly bunch. Hope you stick
around for a long time.

Welcome to the group. I am 34 and in Michigan , USA.
I don't felt much , have once or twice but with not knowing all of the
finner details at the time I was not happy with the results. I am
thinking about doing up a hat for my MIL for Christmas this year ,
found a neat pattern at the local yarn store for it, we will see.
Hope to hear more from you ,

Welcome, Lindsay. We are a nice friendly bunch of people, aren't we? ;-)

I haven't done any spinning, but do knit. My latest felted project was a
pair of clogs. Unfortunately, the 2 clogs did not felt at the same rate, so
1 clog is much narrower than the other. I've tried all sorts of things to
get them even, but I think I will have to just chalk this up to experience.

Hope to see you around.

Welcome Lindsay!!!!
There are many newbees here those days, and that is exellent!!!
I am not a spinner myself, but is tempted to be!
I have felted a bit, but used to buy ready carded and coloured wool.
But I love to knit, crochet and
embroider, and earlier I have woven a lot too!

Hi Lindsay,

Welcome to the greatest group on the net. I only crochet and knit a little, but
I know others have felted before. Glad you joined us.
