From a cheerful polka-dot bag and cozy felted slippers to a whimsical mobile and heart-warming tea cosy, this spirited primer offers a range of projects for beginner and advanced felters.
Once the crafter has become comfortable with basic techniques, they can graduate to more complex felting techniques in the advanced chapter.
