Christine White

This is the ultimate guide to felting for beginners. White shows that adding water and a little soap to a loose pile of wool fibres offers almost limitless textile possibilities (with amazing ease) for hands-on crafters. She describes the equipment, explores the concepts and theories of felting, and thoroughly explains all techniques: traditional, needle, 3-D seamless, nuno, cobweb, carved and Beede ball.

The 48 fabulous projects offer something for every fibre artist, from a realistic poppy cushion to a little girl's dress.
