Felting has always captivated the yarn and fiber craft audience. Whether you know how to knit/crochet or not, you can do this kind of felting. Wet felting gives the crafter/designer complete freedom and control from the beginning. Hand-painted and solid-color roving-wool that has not been spun into yarn-is arranged on a surface and subjected to hot water and agitation to create felt fabric. With Nancy's freeform methods, wool yarns, novelty yarns, bits of felt (called prefelt), and other fibers are worked into the felt to create highly textured and patterned fabrics-felt inlays. Each felt inlay (individual piece of hand-made fabric) is unique and creative. But what's really great about this book is that Nancy takes it one giant step ahead by including 20 projects to show what you can make with your felt inlays.

Handmade felt, with its distinctive fuzzy surface, has become a popular craft medium. The felt in these projects is made from unspun wool rovings. Inlays are yarn or partially finished felt pieces pressed onto the plain felt surface to form designs. Step-by-step instructions are for embellished accessories such as bags, glasses cases, and book covers. Showcasing a fun craft for all ages, this book is for public libraries. -- Library Journal, Oct 15, 2008

Beginner Friendly, Not For Experienced Felters,
By
This review is from: Felt Inlays: Making Textured and Patterned Felt for 23 Creative Projects (Paperback)
I was expecting this to be advanced felt making but this was definitely geared more towards beginners. The pictures are great and the instructions are good and helpful so I would recommend this to beginners and those that have not yet tried out more adventurous projects. However, for the more experienced, this is not going to teach you anything you haven't learned on your own or by happy accident.

This review is from: Felt Inlays: Making Textured and Patterned Felt for 23 Creative Projects (Paperback)
This book shows you how to use prefelt, yarn and other loose fibers while wet felting. It's nothing earth shattering but it is useful and thorough. It includes several projects to try, such as an eyeglasses case, cosmetics case, purse, etc.

I found the easily achievable projects in this book inspiring. They make you want to start as a beginner and continue making felt and discover other techniques. The book uses wet felting and is easy to do at home. Clear instructions, great colour photography.
