How to Dry Felt

Step 1: A high density felting foam sponge is essential along with a dry felting needle.

Step 2: Place a Felt Sheet on top of the Felting Foam, ready to dry felt with Merino Wool Tops or Crafting Combed Wool.

Step 3: To pull the wool apart, hold hands approximately 20cm apart and gently pull. The ends should be wispy.

Step 4: Place the wool on the Felt Sheet and firmly direct the Dry Felting Needle all the way through to the Felting Foam. Always keep needle upright, not slanted.

Step 5: Move the wool in the direction you would like the dry felting to follow, using quick pricks of the needle to fix in place. Lift felt from foam every so often to loosen it.

Step 6: Continue to fill the design, introducing new colours as you wish, layering and blending them as you go.

Step 7: Once your dry felting is complete you can display the artwork.
