When the weather cools and the days shorten, I like to have a few crafty projects going that I can work on—in front of the fireplace or TV—ideally using cozy materials like wool roving or yarn. (And, if the projects make nice gifts for someone on my list, even better!)
Needle-felting wool is a fun, easy, and incredibly satisfying craft—all you really need is the wool roving, felting needles, and a foam felting mat. Joining loose wool strands into something solid almost feels like magic. Wool fibers have scales and when they are agitated (like when they are rolled are stabbed with a felting needle) the directions of the fibers move around and the scales permanently lock into each other, creating felt! The more you stab the needle all over your shape, the smaller, tighter, and smoother the shape will become.
