Demo - Needle Felting & Wool Blending

During our May meeting, Cheryl gave a demo on wool carding and blending wool to get different color combinations, and Landreth gave a hands on workshop for needle felting. Cheryl began with hand carders, showing us how to card and roll punis, preparing your wool to spin. Then she blended wools to get an assortment of different effects.
Landreth prepared several info boards, showing how different fibers needle felted, and different types of interfacing to use to secure the back of the fibers. She gave everyone an assortment of fabric to try, chiffons, silks, knits, lame and she supplied needles, foam and fibers so everyone could play with the assortment.
All our artists had a wonderful time playing with the fibers and needle felting, thank you Landreth and Cheryl for your expertise.
