Wet felting uses water and agitation, producing a more uniform textile, while needle felting is dry and better for 3D shapes and detailed work.

Combine wool and a sheer fabric like silk to create a lightweight felt with a textured surface.

Wash the wool to remove impurities and then card it to align fibers, making them easier to felt.

Allow the shaped felt to dry completely, either naturally or with the aid of a drying tool.

While it's still wet, shape the felt into the desired form or lay it flat to create a sheet.

To maintain felt's quality, clean gently by hand with cool water and minimal agitation, and avoid machine washing/drying.

Create a very thin and lacy felt by laying out wool fibers sparsely before felting.

Gently wet the wool fibers with warm, soapy water to begin the felting process, helping the wool fibers to slide together.

Decide on the type of wool to use, considering factors such as fiber length, crimp, and fineness to achieve desired texture and strength of the felt.

Increase the agitation and pressure to condense the wool further, thickening and strengthening the felt.

Rinse the felt with clean water to remove soap and leftover impurities, ensuring a clean final product.

Add decorative elements such as embroidery, beading, or other embellishments to the felt after it's made.

Use special barbed needles to interlock wool fibers together without water, creating detailed sculptures or designs.

Rub and press the wool by hand or with tools, causing the fibers to tangle and bind together to form felt.
