Hi Mountain Ash,

I am so glad I happened onto this discussion. I have a friend who has made me several delightful felted pieces. The one I treasure the most is a small felted bowl, which I keep on my dresser to hold "stuff." It is multiple shades of red and had feathers on it.

As I understand the process, she probably crocheted the bowl, then processed it in hot water to cause it to become felted. This, however, would be totally different than the samples JJ showed, which appear to be flat pieces (possibly turned into decorative pins) which are merely created from the felt you can buy in craft stores...

Both are lovely, but which type of felting are you doing?

Anne
