Artfelt - What is it? Project Ideas
It’s not needle felting. It’s not wet felting. It’s not fulling. It’s artfelt® – and it is revolutionizing the way we felt.
Using Artfelt® Paper, the "canvas" for all Artfelt® projects. This special paper allows the designer a tackable canvas on which to attach the wool roving. When finished, the paper magically disappears with boiling water, leaving a fully fused piece and no residue.

Superwash is wool treated with a chemical process to enhance its properties, making it smoother, stronger, and easier to wash. The process involves removing the natural scales from the wool fibers and may include adding a thin polymer coating. This results in a yarn that is less itchy, machine washable, and a smooth sheen.
If hand dyeing handle unspun wool top gently. Once wet tends to separate easily. Hint: Lingerie mesh bags are very helpful.
