Colourful Cobweb Felt-In January 2019

Saturday the 19th January saw us start the New Year with our own Gail Cooke leading the Felt In on the cobweb technique, to over 24 members.  Gail had lots of scarves and wrap samples to show us.  She demonstrated, using a length of roving and the importance of teasing out the wool to achieve the cobweb effect. Everyone set about making their samples which after laying and teasing was wetted and the rolling commenced- 40 rolls each way- turning continually until all the fibres were holding and meshed together. Then the bubble wrap under the sample was pulled in both directions until the cobweb effect was completed.  This was great learning experience for everyone and many thanks to Gail for all her hard work.
