There are many
different stages to felt making starting with preparing the raw fleece,
removing dirt, washing, teasing and carding the wool. The felted pieces are then sewn, decorated, and made into many beautiful items such as wall-hangings, bags, cushions, dolls, slippers and a few years ago we felted our own yurt. |
The process
involves warm soapy water being added to the carded wool that is laid in
criss-cross layers... Then with our hands we move rhythmically over the surface, which interlocks the wool fibres and the felt piece is then rolled in a cane blind then laid out flat to dry. |

Hundreds of children, residents, adults too, have sat enthralled in the Corbenic Yurt listening to stories of strange and wonderful far-off places... |

a bright, spacious new crafts area in
which to work.... Monica Hand, |
