This is the fiber that started it all...

THIS

How could I resist this?!?

This is the hand painted roving that began my felting journey over 12 years ago. The blues and greens, how they blended like watercolors, the softness of the fiber, the faint scent of the sheep who gave the fleece that was washed, and combed and dyed…well, I doubt you could have resisted either!

With a $4 “Teach yourself to needle felt” kit and this luscious fiber, my love affair with fiber and felting began, and everything else fell into place behind felting. Over the years since I received this fiber, I’ve incorporated beading, and wirework, and sewing, and embroidery stitches to my felt works. And I’ve loved every moment. But I do have one regret.

I should have named it George.
