This book offers a journey through the history of the ancient craft
of felting from the earliest times, when people first discovered
that animal fibre, moisture and friction created a durable, warm
fabric. Felt has been used for everything from apparel to housing;
it has been used for practical, decorative and even religious
applications. This book looks at the rise and fall of felting
through history and into the industrial era, including its
importance to the hat-making industry. The second part of the book
brings us to the modern - and some might say, golden - era of
artisanal felting with interviews from felters and textile artists
generously sharing their creative process. Finally, if you are
inspired to try this fascinating craft, there are step by step
instructions for both wet and needle felting, and a useful list of
resources to get you started on your own felt-making journey.
