Handmade wool textile

Hubby had to work this weekend, so once the kids went to bed for the night, I thought I'd have a play with some wool fibre techniques. More specifically, felting. Something I've wanted to try for years ... I finally purchased some wool sliver (already dyed) which arrived yesterday.

My very first piece of wool felt ... all handmade. It's certainly not quick, but it is a lot of fun. Definitely a project that I'll be doing again. There's something pretty cool about being able to make your own textiles.
