Felting By Lynn Huggins-Cooper
This book offers a journey through the history of the ancient craft of felting from the earliest times, when people first discovered that animal fibers, moisture and friction create a strong and warm fabric. Felt has been used for everything from clothing to housing; it has been used for practical, decorative, and even religious applications. This book examines the ups and downs of felting in history and in the industrial era.
The second part of the book takes us to the modern-one might say, the golden era of artisanal felting: interviews with felt masters and textile artists who generously share their creative process.
Finally, if you want to try this fascinating craft, there are step-by-step instructions on wet and needle-punched felting, as well as a useful list of resources that will help you start your own journey of creating felt.
