- Olive oil soap
- Water sprinkler (bring whatever you usually use. I use the Ball Brause)
- Wool tops 100-150gm. Mixed colours that work well together. I use fine merino but use whatever you prefer. It’s unlikely you’ll use 150gm. It depends how big you work and how fast!
- Small sharp pointy scissors are essential. Do not forget these!! They must be small like nail scissors (but not curved like nail scissors) to cut small holes.
- Bubble wrap ‘placemats’ x 2 per person. Dimensions approx. 45cm x 55cm
- Non-slip mat x 1 per person (30cm x 35cm) – the sort that goes under carpet
- Synthetic netting (or preferred fabric) to cover wool when wetting down (A3-ish size)
- Small rolling tool (e.g., dowel rod or pvc pipe 30-40cm). I’ll bring spare of these.
- Towel for under the work area
- Hand towel
- Sponge
- Open container for water e.g., yoghurt container 1 litre size
- Threads (various gauge) to complement wools.
- Needles (small to large eye openings to accommodate different threads)
- Pins (just a few to hold shapes while felt dries)
- Invisible thread (not essential if you have other threads)
- Pebbles (small smooth stones/ no jagged edges), small spherical balls (polystyrene or similar approx. 3-5cm) for felting around if you wish to experiment. I’ll also bring some honky nuts to felt around.
