Not Your Mama's Felting: The Cool and Creative Way to Get it Together |
| Amy Swenson |
| Felting is the hot new trend among knitters and crafters.
Felting, the process of working wool fibers together to form felt, is an ancient craft with a hip new resurgence. In knitted or crocheted felting, crafters knit or crochet an item and deliberately shrink it to create a strong, thick fabric. In needle felting, they use special needles to meld the fibers together, and in wet felting, they use water and soap to agitate raw wool into unique patterns and shapes. Not Your Mama’s Felting will be the first book to cover all three types of felting. Readers will find approximately 30 projects to embellish themselves, their homes, and their friends, and each pattern offers variations so readers can truly make each piece their own. Amy Swenson (Calgary, AB, Canada) learned to crochet when she was still young enough to make blankets for her dolls. Since 2003, Amy has developed and distributed her own line of original patterns for knitting and crocheting, IndiKnits, which can be found in over 100 shops across North America.
