 The design in the first image was needle felted onto a wool base. Joanie used an old wool coat picked up from the thrift shop!  The other images show  machine needle felting onto a 100% wool felt base.  We created yardage using wool and silk roving and  silk hankies.  The needle felted yardage was then  wet with soapy water, rolled between layers of bubble wrap and gently rolled for approximately 10 minutes.

This is a great project if you have a stash of left over yarns, threads and fibre....and what knitter doesn't?
