Felting is a traditional craft anyone can try. No need for
complicated equipment - just everyday things you aleady have
around the house - you can quickly learn how to make beautiful and original felt.
This book includes step-by-step instructions and illustrations for all you need to
know for felting, from layout and shrinking to network felting and
producing three-dimensional forms. Once you know the basics, 30
inspirational projects show you how to experiment with different
techniques and embellish your felt with fabric and embroidery.

other textile techniques.
