Handleiding

Felting is a very old craft that people

have used for over 5,000 years to

make warm textiles. It was probably

invented by Asian nomads — in other

words, by people who moved around

with their animals instead of living

in one fixed place. From felt, they

made not only warm clothing, but

tents and carpets as well. Then, along

caravan trade routes, the knowledge

of felting was spread far and wide to

foreign lands.

By the traditional

method, wool and

other animal fibers

were processed by

the technique of

wet felting. In that

technique, water

and soap are applied

to the wool, which

is then vigorously

kneaded and rubbed. That causes

tiny plates on the surface of the wool

fibers to stand up and hook into each

other. Over time, a solid material is

formed.

This kit will teach you a more modern

felting technique known as needle

felting. The special needles you will

be using, which are included in the

kit, have tiny barbs all around the tip.

When you stick the needles into wool,

their barbs pull the individual wool

fibers along with them as they go in.

That causes those fibers to get tied up

with the surrounding wool fibers and

stick together. Gradually, a solid mat

is created out of the loose wool.

In this kit, we will be introducing

you to an awesomely wild, crazy, and

colorful world of felt. On the opposite

page, take a look at the candy shop

with shelves just waiting to be filled.

Draw your favorite sweets or invent

your own. Don’t forget to give them a

name, too!

Grab your

needles, get set,

let’s go!
