• About Needle felt with Wool Workshops

• Needle felt with wool and design your own wool creation. Easy and fun to shape wool and create your figure. 

• Fiber art is endless on what you can do with this amazing material. We use wool from our sheep on our farm.

• Our flock have a haircut one time a year which they love for the summer months. We clean and card the wool and prepare it to use for our workshops. The sheep enjoy having short hair in the summertime as they do grow their coats back in time for winter. In the workshops we teach you to use different tools and accessories to design your wool creation. You will learn the basic foundation of using the wool and gain skills to create wool creations.

• It's a fun atmosphere -crafty and creative. All materials and tools are provided for the workshop.
