Making batts for felting using the Ashford Blending Board and luxurious fibres

Maria Shtrik, our distributor in Russia visited us earlier this year. Maria is a very skilled felter and one of her felted shawls was featured in "The Wheel" magazine (our annual fibercraft magazine). She kindly shared her technique for making beautiful fine felt with us. This is an excellent way to make felt and it is amazing how fine you can make it using very little fibre.

Learn how to make fine felt batts from luxurious fibres using your Ashford blending board. Create repeatable batts. Use luxury fibres such as linen, silk, viscose, bamboo and more.
For more information on making the felted shawl featured in Issue 27 of The Wheel magazine go to the link in the video above.
