Felt Making Projects

Felt purse and slippers I made on a weekend course at Denmark Farm with Lorraine Pocklington.  A great fun weekend.  Never thought I could felt and make slippers in one day!  The slippers are actually green!  Exterior is made with Shetland wool and the inside with Wensleydale.  I'm now inspired to do a C&G course in felt-making
