Product Description

With her signature style, the bestselling and beloved needlework author Nicky Epstein offers the best guide to felting. Using ten chic garments and more than 150 stunning sample swatches as examples, she covers the top techniques for turning wool yarn into vibrant and dense textures. Before and after shots show how different fabrics react to the process, and there are patterns, stitches, and techniques for lace, mosaics, cables, plaids, checks, and quilting. Create bobbles, appliqués, and ruffles; combine yarns; and use clamps, marbles, cords, braids, and more to form three-dimensional shapes in the felt. Epstein also presents her unique ideas for transforming old clothes and accessories, using one sweater to demonstrate many design possibilities. An array of attractive home décor projects completes the collection beautifully.

Everything you ever wanted to know about felting
With a few patterns more for inspiration than anything else this is more a book about different methods of felting and how to achieve different effects from felting knitted fabric. Includes some things to do with old or accidentally felted jumpers.

It's an excellent overview, almost too much for a beginner but would be excellent for people looking to expand their knowledge and looking to go beyond the basics.
