Hi Charlotte,
This is from p6 of the 'Fibrecrafts' catalogue.
Take a good handfull of wool fibre. Add coloured wool and woollen yarn =
making a total weight up to 250gms for a hand sized ball. Tease the wool =
open and fluff it up to a consistent mix, and shape it into a ball, with =
the coloured wools making a surface pattern.
Mix a tablespoon of soap powder, or 2 tablespoons of washing up liquid =
into half a washing up bowl of hand hot water. Wet the outside of the =
ball with the soapy liquid. Shape the wool into a ball and pat and =
squeeze and roll it in the hands.
Keep wetting, patting and squeezing until the felt hardens, about 10-20 =
mins.
Put the ball in a warm place to dry.
Regards (and good luck)
Hazel U.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to make felted wool balls as a =
children's activity?
Or refer me to a source that can tell me how to do so?
Thanks very much!
