Another way of making cloth…take wool roving, add hot water, soap, and sweat (my own, as I provided the “friction” required to make felt), and in a relatively short bit, the soft fluffy separate pieces of wool that could blow away with a gentle breeze, interlock and become one single strong piece of cloth. Like weaving, very magical.
I did have to move my studio mates to make room for the felting paraphernalia, but they were much interested in the process so watched on…
