The comprehensive, extremely successful manual shows new and fascinating possibilities of the ancient technique of felting. Wool and simple tools can be used to shape modern clothes, toys, jewelery and furnishing textiles that are not only practical but also attractive. On the one hand, the author describes the traditions of felting, for example the ancient cultures of the Central Asian nomads, where felt is still used today as an irreplaceable material for tents and clothes. On the other hand, it provides a step-by-step introduction to all aspects of today’s felting. In detail and with many illustrations, the book provides information about the choice of suitable wool, preparation and dyeing and presents all possible techniques. It shows how flat patterns and three-dimensional felt works of art are formed and how the most diverse items of clothing, hats, boots and bags are made. The last part of the book deals with the possibilities of felting with children.
