Felt for all
This 128-page book really is a definitive guide to felting. It explores the techniques of needle felting, wet felting, fulling and for cheats, using ready-made felt. Find out how to use sweaters that shrunk in the wash. The designs for the 30 projects are appealing. Each one is quick to make, being completed in a day. They include decorative items such as baubles and beads as well as useful bags and bootees.

This colourful book takes a fun approach to this exciting craft. It's not just felt either, other fabrics are explored too. Easy to follow instructions are accompanied by templates to enable you to produce the designs. A useful suppliers' list is given so that you can source the materials needed. Get to grips with tactile felt. This book is good value.

Quick and Clever What
I was disappointed when I purchased this book, it has a few uninspiring designs spread out over too many pages with unnecessary photographs to fill the book. I did not find anything in the way of creative needle felting to help me get interested.

OK-ish
Quite disappointing - I don't expect a book on felting to include several projects made from ordinary bought hobby felt !
