Everywhere I look these days I am seeing new crafts pop up that are made from felt. For those of you who don’t know what felt or felting is, I found a few varying definitions for it. Depending on the method used to felt. One says, a process by which knitted wool is soaked in hot water to shrink and tighten the fibers and create a dense fabric. While another says felt is a non-woven cloth that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers. Felt is the oldest form of fabric known to humankind. It predates weaving and knitting.

With the cold dark days of winter ahead of us, I was seeking something warm, soft and colorful. Possibly you are too!
