What are the best conditions for hand felting?
When using Merino wool Tops, use warm water and low lather soap, but do not use too much of either of them. You need just enough water to make your layers of wool moist, and enough soap to help the fibres ‘stick’ together while you work. Too much water will make the fibres slide out of control, and too much soap will create bubbles that will separate them. Everything you do, should be to encourage the fibres to be as close together as possible so that they can tangle together easily and quickly.
