Had a lovely day yesterday with Caroline Merrell of Felt in the factory, Ross-on-Wye. She showed me how to make these mittens. The felt is needle felt, which is hand-dyed by Caroline, and the flower is needle felted onto the cut out mitten shape first. The two halves of the mittens are then stitched together before beginning the felting process and 'shrinking' the mittens to fit. Thank you Caroline.
