Show & Tell November

We always love to see what our Feltmakers North members are inspired to make in their own time or finish from previous felt-ins. And here are the fantastic show & tell items from November.

Remember to bring along your UFO's (unfinished felted objects) to our December felt-in. A selected panel of experienced feltmakers will give you advice on how to complete or add to your unfinished items to display at our January show & tell.

October Felt-in with Jayne

Our October Felt-in started with show and tell. Gail and Helen spoke about the Annemie Koenen workshop they attended, organised by Jacki Sleator. At the workshop they learnt how to make textured scarves and embroidered felt cuffs.

Thank you to Jayne who ran a great felt-in on Saturday 20th October. Jayne used the Gotland wool to demonstrate making pockets and flaps with this fine, long, lustrous and dense fleece.
