- Felt and thrift with Me! Join me in the studio in this wet felting exploration where I test thrifted fabrics on the fly with Merino Wool. Will it stick? How do different types if fabrics felt? What challenges will I run into? What mistakes will I make and what new techniques will I discover? Learn what to do and what not to do as I work through felt-making ebbs and flows. Features Iron on Transfer Paper and Dharma Trading Printable Silk Fabric Paper.

♥ Hi, my name is Lori and my goal is to teach, inspire and live off the land in style by knitting my own clothes, creating essential survival items and living luxuriously warm, dyeing fibre using bright acid colours and occasionally plants, fungi, muck and mud.
When I began wet felting 10 years ago, there were only a few basic tutorials. On this channel, I want to share everything I know so so that you can easily begin upgrading your craft by creating remarkable fibre art more quickly. From illustrative conceptual ideas into beautiful creative work that is ready to repeat quickly using minimal tools and resources.
Tip me a Coffee :)

❤ What a brilliant tutorial. Thank you so much. It has encouraged me to explore different fabrics. I’ll be visiting charity shops this week!
It’s very exciting to go in them to find felting fabrics! I used to go all the time but have been limiting myself 😆
THANK YOU 💜 so much for the Super Thanks Aine! I feel so encouraged and supported.

Thank you for your comments on the previous video! There were some technical errors so I have now re-posted the video 😊
Omg it’s really setting in. I love the velvet so much. The way it curls into the felt. Velvet pillow covers, velvet bags, velvet cuffs, velvet patch 😍 what about beads and velvet?
That was really interesting and helpful. Thank you.
This is fabulous & inspiring! Rather quilt-like and so playful! Could you please say what you used for a base layer, before adding some wool, then adding the experiment fabrics on top, etc?
Thank you! The base layer is two crosshatched layers of uncombed Merino wool roving from Tally Ho Wool Carding in New Zealand :) There is also some info of other materials in the description :)
@@muffsmerino thanks so much, please keep sharing your delightful work ☀️
Thank you so much. I was just thinking of these items.
So glad! So much fun to do :)
Wow, I just found you, you're awesome !! 💓
Thank you, so glad you like the videos. More to come in time...
What is in the squirt bottle that you put on the fabric?
It’s called a ball brause! Or felting sprinkler! Check on Amazon. Super duper tool for wet felting :)
Wish you would come back! Love your videos and ideas. Thanks!
Awe, thank you. I love doing them and being a part of TH-cam video making. I am definitely coming back. It is top on my priority list but been taking time away to build up some other skills. I also got a job since. So now a matter of creating a slot of time to focus on only the videos and put all my effort into it! I would say they are the most work out of any job I have done haha.
@@muffsmerino Good luck on your job!!! But, selfishly, really looking forward to seeing you again! I'm sure making videos isn't easy but you do a great job!
This is so awesome! I am so addicted to to thrifting for silk and always wonder if the "other" materials will felt as well. Guess i just have to try it!
You just have to try it and keep on experimenting. If you’re unsure 😐 just try it! If you can’t decide, do both! The test sheet is very handy.
Great video! Thank you for demonstrating the different possibilities with fabric.
Thanks for watching :)
Very good instructions!
Glad it was helpful!
NOTE for the silk velvet, I recommend using a fabric 'burn out' gel to open up some of the pile to allow wool to migrate up through the base weave. You can create simple patterns (dots, shapes) which will then create a beautiful textural variation between tight wool felt and bubbly velvet... :)
That sounds very cool. Will have to test it out first a video sometime!
This was inspiring! I have a magenta sweater knit fabric that I want to do this with now. I have a lot of heavier open mesh materials that I think I'll make samples with too, to see how they turn out.
So glad to hear that! I suppose cotton knits might work too, if they are not too thick.
Thank you for the inspiration! Your video is so fun ... great editing!
Thank you! So glad to hear my editing is improving, especially since th first video when they were all on high speed haha.
W❤️W! That’s Incredibly Awesome! 🤗❤️✨
Awe thanks!
I have a huge bin of wool roving ive kept for a special project along with a heap of thrifted scarves/pashima some silk .I think this is it 😍 The inspiration I needed👏 Maybe a winter Jacket Thankyou for a great video 😊

Thank you so much for watching. Your comments are encouraging too! Glad you found them helpful. More to come.
Great video. You inspire me to get out there and find material in resale Goodwill shops. Thanks.
Oh so exciting. I hope you score some pretty fabrics :)
Can't wait to try it!
Nice! I would say post a photo but not a thing on TH-cam 😆
Es una bonita técnica de reciclado! Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde México 😊
