Needle Felting First Attempt
Fun with felting needles - part 1. I'm playing with a Clover hand felting handle with 5 needles and the brush surface to felt on. I have my eye on a Pfaff needle felting machine. Oh yeah!
then bits of yarn were felted into it.
On the right is a spiral of various yarns felted onto a piece of fabric.
In front is a piece of commercial wool felt with some roving felted on to it.
This was lots of fun, and I'll be able to use up lots of leftover yarn, but using this system is hard on the hand. I think the machine will be better. Oh yeah.
By the way, yes, it is snowing. Has been snowing for hours. Does not show any signs of stopping. Sigh. Easter brunch plans for tomorrow might have to be shelved. Oh well. More time to play with fibre!

Here in Holland we have the perfect Easter weather, sunny, cool, but the trees are bursting into bloom. Right on schedule.
I have a nasty cold and have been laying low since Thursday. But now I have to get mobilized to go to an Easter/Birthday dinner in Amsterdam. A good thing: I will be wearing my new shoes!
