18 Jun Felted raw fleece seat pad
Last week I opened a box of beautiful raw fleece that I’d been saving for a special project. It had been in storage for over 5 years so this was definitely like starting afresh! Rather than tackling something big, I decided to felt a simple seat pad first so that I could get a feel for working with raw fleece again. The various shades and different lengths of these Gotland locks combined together well. I wasn’t expecting it to felt as quickly as it did though so it’s not quite as rustic looking as if I’d used a whole fleece in one piece. Some of the shorter locks felted in more than I was anticipating but overall, I’m happy with the result.
