This home was built by two old people who love to create. We wanted the home to be usable on one side and peaceful on the other. The work side is a craftsman's or craftswoman's delight. On the 'hobbit' side we hand built 80% of the items in it. Using only what we knew and learned along the way, we were able to finish our house in three years (check out the other videos to see how we lived in ou...

How large is your resist and what did you make it out of?
How much wool did you use? I need to know how much to get.
Love all your videos!! Much gratitude for sharing such important techniques/tips/information/wisdom. Is there a follow up bag video I've missed by chance?
Hello Rosemary, so well done. Thank you for doing this informative 2 part video. I am thinking about felting some very large stones. Do you have experience felting large objects like rocks ?
I have felted small rocks but not big ones. I have felted rugs There is another tutorial for that on TH-cam. I assume the gradual layout of a rug may be helpful. I don't think it would be hard.
i love this video so much i've mede 3 hats using this video and plan to make more. this is the only bideo i have vome back to. You are so very helpful! thank you ❤️
You are amazing ❤
It’s so beautiful and clever ❤
Yes! This is exactly the video I was looking for. Simple, solid, age-old techniques. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with the world!
Very pleasant and informative- thank you!
Or less coffee.
Maby talk a little less.
Absolutely not this is a training video. Her speaking is so very helpful. If she didn't speak as much as she did , I wouldn't have made a hat half as beautiful as I did.
Is the rug only two layers?
Yes...but they are thicker than felting a hat or bag. At least double.
Beautiful work!!! Thank you for sharing
I would love an update on how the floor is holding up.
It's been over two and a half years. It still looks great and washes easily.
Thank you for your informative tutorial. I plan to do this on my concrete patio outside. Has anyone tried this outdoors??
Not that I know of. This floor was put in over two years ago and is still in great shape though.
Thank you❤
I think I missed how big was the resist
about 12" by 10" more or less it depends on how much you want for a brim and how much you want to shape it after you have formed it.
Great video!! Looks like pretty good, i have two questions: how many layers in each sides and how to make the hat less fluffy, i would like more of the hat was more hard, how i make It? Love your video!! Thank you so much!
The more you rub the hat, the harder it gets. Plan for it to shrink as you rub. Also to remove fuzz: wait for the hat to dry completely then take a lit match or lighter and let it travel over the surface of the wool. The fuzz will shrivel up and can be brushed away. Wool is not flammable.
Low and slow is the key. It takes me about an hour at least. Once it starts to thicken stay right by it so it doesn't burn.
How long do you have to boil the jam?
Amen. God bless you. You were an Angel to him.
Thank you for your Video. It is realy the best i had ever seen. Many greetings from Germany. Silke
What a fabulous tutorial Rosemary, many thanks for sharing. I am hoping to make a beret for a friend who is going through chemotherapy at the moment.
Prayers go to her. Churros wool can be itchy...try Merino if it's going to be close to skin. ❤
Por favor habla más lento!!
How much water?
I don't use any. I just add the liquid pectin. You can add water, but you'll just boil it off. The fruit has its own liquid, so you really don't need it.
@rose883 thank you!!!
Thank you,Rosemary's, I'm new to felting,I'm going to try and make a hat
You can do it! 😊
I use cooling racks vs. my counters.
that works and lets the air circulate for faster cooling. It also can save fragile counters...but mine are cement.
Thanks for educational tutorial!
I’m interested in a class in person from you!!!
I do teach at a few primitive gatherings right now. I will be at Between the Rivers in Washington at the end of May. 😊 I also teach at Elkhorn Gathering and Rabbit sticks.
If I set up any other classes, I will let you know.
Do you work with unwashed wool? :)
I do not wash my wool. I do use wool that is free from debris. My wool felts so well, that washing it causes it to begin felting. The felting process cleans the wool. You can see from my other videos how to choose and prepare wool.
Peccato che nn capisco l'inglese. Sei molto brava💜
Any suggestions on the preparation of the resist?
Size measurements.
A fantastic tutorial Rosemary, thank you so much! 😊
Can it be done with human hair? Lol!
Love this! Did you say what state this is?
Idaho
So what is the ratio sand to cement?
The cement is notil mixed that way. This is Topping cement which has a polymer in it that holds things together better (quickrete topping cement...other brand will do but that's the best) and we added a bit more polymer that is often called "milk"
@rose883 thank you. Good job on your floor. And video. All the best to you.
You’re incredible! It’s so refreshing to see a fellow woman DIY’er! Thanks for taking the time for this tutorial!
What's that thing you mix the cement with
How do you figure out te size of the resist?
Rosemary you’re a gem! Thank you!
Thank you so much! God Bless you! You are a fantastic woman! You gave me so much today! Thanks!
What a beautiful home you have made. Magic
Thank you. The exciting part is that this magic is within each one of us, that makes it possible for us all to create beauty.
Would the brim technique also work for felting slippers - as I don't want to cut into those either?
I use this technique for slippers, rugs, bags, vests, hats, etc. I rarely if ever cut my wool.
Thank you@@rose883
best hat making videos using a natural/ old fashioned process. Now we need one for boots/slippers
What do you do to the plywood floor before putting the cement on it? Do you seal it? After all the flooring is complete do you put some type of sealant over it? Looks very cool!
Rosemary Great video and very interesting
Sorry. I'm blind.
Great tips in your video. I'm new to wet felting and need all the knowledge of experienced crafters. I wish I could find the video that finishes this project. Ty
Go to my TH-cam channel (Rosemary's Basics) and look for it. It should not be too hard to find.
Why is there a wood cross bar between the two branches
The crossbar allowed us to use less wiring and most of all, I wanted a shelf to put things on. Good question!
