Cobwebs in October.

For Feltmakers North's October Felt in we had Liz Nicholls as our tutor. She was teaching us how to make cobweb felt and had brought a great selection of samples for us to see. It was lovely to see all the different colours,  in some she had used carded wool, with some beautiful colour combinations.
The turn out was good including some new members who had attended the Basic and Beyond and were very keen to do more felting! After some instruction we set about laying out our fibres to make our cobweb!
It was another very enjoyable and creative morning!

At Feltmakers North we are now looking forward to Charity van der Meer coming for our residential week end, which is being held at Portballintrae village hall on Friday 2nd November to Sunday 3rd November so if you happen to be passing pop in and say hello and see the lovely felted garments in production!
Our next Felt In will be on November 17th and we will be using a resist. There is the option to stay on for an extended felt in and make a bag in the afternoon using a resist, however you need to fill in an application form for this which is available from Ann details in workshop section.
