This class is designed to introduce students to needle felting with a simple, seasonal project. Perfect for beginners. No experience necessary.

Felting is older than spinning or weaving and found in many world cultures. Felting wool means to agitate the fibers so that they bond together into a non-woven fabric or a three-dimensional form. Dry needle felting involves the use of a sharp, barbed needle and stabbing the wool to connect fibers to build density and form.

Participants will learn to felt one or two baby penguins about 4 inches high.

Your instructor will provide the following materials:

  • all supplies, including wool, felting needles, and foam

Want to keep felting at home? Tools and supplies will be available for purchase.

  • $5 foam pad and 2 needles
  • $5 extra wool roving, plain
  • $5 extra wool prefelt, colors

Students are asked to bring the following materials:

  • Those with previous experience can bring their own needles and foam.
  • Snacks or water, as there are no food facilities at the folk school
