Felters- Advise please! This is a project that I have #needlefelted. While I still need to do some clean up around the edges etc, I am wondering if I should also #wetfelt it to tighten and 'finish' the fibers. Thoughts? 🐑🪡 - ThreadSky

Love it. I gave a needle felting machine. It’s great .

Thanks Jana! Unfortunately I do not have a felting machine, so perhaps there are just several hours of poking in my future.😊

They are very reasonable to buy. And so much fun to use.. think about getting one.

I have one I would love to find a good home for! Babylock 12 needle- not sure they still make them

Thanks! I have decided to first try with a Clover multi tool.

If you wet felt it, it could blend a bit so the crisp lines you have now might soften.

Thanks, the blending was my concern. I appreciate your expertise that it is a possibility. I will try lots more poking and see how that works.

I don't have an opinion on wetfelting it. It might though. I always lightly iron my pieces. Before I do I make sure everything is evenly needled
It's beautiful!

Thanks Judy! I had not thought of a light iron, so after many more hours of poking I will give it a try.

This image was inspired by the work of artist #bethwaltz. Specifically, the piece named "Ocular Octaves"
