[@st3llete]

great video... it is possible to change the colour of it? and if yes how can i do? thank you

[@TerVerpoozing]

Mariagiovanna Risi Thank you for your reaction and question. Change the colour after you made the shawl. Try first a piece of wool before you paint all. Find instructions on the internet.

Thanks for the video. Im just wondering are you using the soap to felt a fleece, or just to wash it.

[@TerVerpoozing]

Soap is for easier - smoother- felting. Cleaning is an extra advantage. Cleaning is not the aim (in the beginning)

[@ammibrooks2]

Thank you so much for this video! Have you used roving instead of prefect? Laying it out with two layers? What are the benefits of the prefect?

[@TerVerpoozing]

Can you tell what you mean by roving and the prefect? My English is poor.

[@ammibrooks2]

prefelt is the piece you used to felt the fleece on. It has been felted a little. Roving is the wool that has been, cleaned, carded and rolled in a ball to sell. I would use Merino wool tufts laid out in the position you used in the video. I would use two layers. I can send you a photo.

[@TerVerpoozing]

I used needle felt. (= prefect?) as a under layer. On top unwashed curls of sheep wool (the dirt is still in the wool and is washed out later). On my website you find a way to contact me www.metageerts.nl and you can send a photo. Thank you.

[@ammibrooks2]

You called it needle felt. the grey felt. we call it prefect because it isn't felted all the way. I hope this clarifies it Meta. Thank you for working with me and helping me.

[@sarahbellum1982]

does anyone know where one can buy pieces of needle felt in the size she is using?

[@TerVerpoozing]

Please tell me what you mean by roving and prefect. My English is not good enough. I do not get your question. Use www.metageerts.nl to send your question.

[@Fire-Queen]

Prefect is a typo, meaning; prefelt, voorgevilt vlies.
