I Made a Wet Felted Hat -

[@JillianEve]

If anyone is wondering... I tucked the top of the hat down to make it look like a knot in an old tree. If I want to have the tall pointy look again, I can just pull it back out. Let me know if you liked this project and want to see more felting adventures. Wet felt looks really amazing with hand spun embellishments on it as well, FYI! Happy Halloween everyone, and happy spinning! 🦉🎃🍂🍄

[@geneg5870]

Last time I asked about carding cotton batts, I was wondering what is the minimum ratio you need to spin cotton? Thank you ❤️🧶

[@the.empress.missjena]

Would love to see more felting

[@kyerstenkerr5074]

Yes! More felting!! I am getting some Icelandic sheep and am dreaming of all sorts of projects, hand spun and felted....please do more! Your channel is great😃

[@Turtle-bj5fw]

Your joy and excitement is so infectious! What a fun and cute project. I'm a relatively new viewer, but I'm hooked, and would love to see more felting adventures!

[@lorielliott4529]

The whimsy and joy!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love it!! .."Go live your BEST GNOME LIFE"..🍄🌾🌻🌿🍁

[@shadowlandsfarmandcreamery5400]

You might be a goof, but we love you for it! It's who you are, and it delights all of us!❤

[@rosakoko5049]

Beautiful BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!💖💖💖

[@alisonhenry820]

Evie you are flippin adorable!! Thanks for sharing your dream, and congrats on making it a reality!

[@alenacarnes6658]

You are the most adorable forest gnome I’ve ever seen! Also, I love love love the project! It turned out so good

[@Divinemessages69]

This reminds me so much of the channel Alwyn Oak when she visits the forest as a fairy. It's just magical and enchanting. Your hat looks amazing and you have inspired me to give it a try, maybe for this halloween! The hat suits you to a T, we all should allow our inner child out and live as little folks of the forest :)

[@AndreaAlexander]

This hat is SO STINKIN' CUTE (and so are you!!). I looooove all the colors of the roving and how it layered together to create such a beautiful, almost marbled design. Also, I've never seen anyone felt a hat before and this process totally blew my mind - I'd love to give it a try someday! Thank you so much for the inspiration and for the holiday cheer 🎃

[@scrapbagstudios]

Totally get the fantasy of living in the forest in a toadstool house or something. I always (and in truth still do - at age 82!) wanted to be a fairy living in the forest. Love the hat. I have a green one I made that is similar but not such a long pointy crown. Too old to felt much anymore which I regret, but there it is. Love your method for making the decorations. Thanks for sharing this. Yes would like to see more felting projects. 😀

[@rebeccagibson7881]

This added years to my life, and now I know a real forest gnome too!! Did you know that the Mongols felted wool under their saddles as they rode? I read a great thesis about it but I couldn't find it anywhere when I went back for it 😩 she thought that felting was the technological advantage that Genghis Khan needed to ride across the continent on horseback...

[@JillianEve]

Love it!!!!

[@moonbasket]

Oh wow. The thumbnail does not do justice the true height of this hat! I love the way you rolled it down to make it more manageable, but the full height is also amazing and gives off such a forest gnome vibe because gnome hats are so tall in relationship to their heads, so I really creates the perfect ratio!

[@beverlymyers3552]

I just adore your hat! I really loved it tucked down in a tree knot. I want to learn to felt, more videos please! You looked adorable frolicing!

[@stitchwithbritt5922]

Such a beautiful hat! You look so cute in it and your enthusiasm made me smile🥰

[@sharonsouthey3235]

I absolutely loved this video, the hat is gorgeous. You really are a joy to watch and I love everything you do. ❤️❤️

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

A thumbs up doesn’t fully express how awesome I think you did with this project. I aspire to this level of fiber creativity and fun.

[@kathybrownell5095]

Well, that was a hoot! Loved the instruction, loved the design, loved that it made me smile 'til my face hurt!

[@odhtate987]

Hats can never be too much

[@geneg5870]

I had no idea I was interested in felting. I for one would like to see more in the future 👍❤️🧶

[@littleSallyJo]

Absolutely ADORABLE!!!

[@the.empress.missjena]

I was cackling the whole time because it was like watching myself with almost any craft project! "I have an idea! Oh geez, will it work?? Uh....uhh... okay, doing the thing... oh gosh..... YAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!! *joyful frolicking*"

[@patogden856]

You so funny Evie. Made my day. Not sure the hat is my thing but you are priceless. Love the Jersey. Presume you made it. Much love Pat nz

[@mariapartington7910]

Beautiful!!!! You did an awesome job... a lot of work but very worth it !!! GREAT

[@Nanagardenwales]

Hi just found your videos and love then, I’m going to get back into spinning thanks to you, you are also a lovely person and I could watch you all day

[@greenecrayon]

There are times that your whimsy just makes me adore you... this video is one of them. Be your best forest gnome!

[@margaretmurrell4663]

Too stinkin CUTE! You have inspired me to give this a try! ❤❤❤

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

I think this is the single cutest video you've ever done. Loved it, would like to see more felting adventures. Best forest gnome dinosaur ever.

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

You are an adorable forest gnome!!! I love how much fun you had with this, I have been wanting to wet felt a bag for a long time, will be doing it soon.

[@susiepihl5719]

Love that gnome hat 😍👍

[@angiekyle2942]

I just love watching your videos. It lightens my mood 100%

[@lizbongrav2108]

Absolutely delightful - both the hat & you. Really enjoy all your videos, but this one is an (unexpected) favourite. 💚

[@rusticwool4637]

This is the cute thing ever!!!

[@wandarutledge4260]

That is so cute you made me smile and laugh thank you

[@SaraTweedie]

That hat is so stinkin' adorable! It's infectious how happy it made you!

KZbin needs a love button ❤️ you look ecstatic in the hat. I now want to felt my girls some fairy hats but I’m catching up on last minute Halloween sewing. 🧡🖤🧡🧚🏻‍♀️🍄

[@lorainew4281]

Evie, you have to be one of the most adorable people ever! What a great project and you made it look so easy! The hat turned out fabulous and you make a perfect forest gnome! Love this project and yes to more wet felting stuff!

[@pandasgrl]

I loved this adventure! I’m obsessed with the idea of wet felting. I love those strange accordion-style hats and the beautiful flower ones and would love to see you try out something like that 🥰 And the one you made was SO DARLING! The acornsssss! I got here from your drop spindle videos and it’s safe to say I’m hitting subscribe right after I type this.

[@lovelysheep9333]

That was refreshing! 😘😘😘

[@spooniecrafts]

DILOPHOSAURUS YAS! I was totally thinking that and then you said it, I may have shouted in joy at my TV 😂

[@emmagoff]

[@stampbykory]

Adorable

[@SmallFossy]

Ok, your dream is my dream and I need to make at like this! It turned out so amazing! Thanks for doing this video!!!

[@tracyirwin9578]

I just love how adorable your hat turned out! You are the cutest forest gnome there is 😃

[@shawtazz]

Wow this is amazing, it looks awesome I love it

[@woolenbluebird]

This is so delightful. I’ve been binge watching your channel. You have such wonderful content.

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

That came out really cute 😍

[@dmbrown240]

That’s so cute!!! Love it! ❤️

[@Libradimple]

Thank you for this video... it wasn't just informational, but also such a joy to watch... I was literally bouncing and giggling with you! Anyway, I'm gonna make me a gnome hat now!!

[@Libradimple]

I did it!!! Not a real gnome hat like yours, but more of an elf hat, but using your instructions... it's soooo not perfect, but I absolutely love it!! So THANK YOU!!! Can't believe I did this!

[@rachelmaynard2042]

How do you work with bubble wrap without getting distracted and popping all the bubbles? You have amazing willpower!

[@JillianEve]

Thank you for recognizing that not popping the bubble wrap was the most challenging part of the whole project! 🍂🍂🍄🍄🧶

[@michellemckinney1513]

Beautiful! And I think I loved your giddiness as much as the project! 😁😁😁😁

[@Ravencall]

It amazes me to see you do this great fun project inside! My one felt project was messsy! But I just feel your joy - too much fun! Your gnome hat is beautiful.

[@user-hk5wj4ws3l]

Super nice

[@jeangreenfield5993]

I am interested in the people making felt slippers at the mo, traditional in Europe. Gotta have cozy feet in winter 💟 ! 🧦

[@JillianEve]

Oh, that's an interesting idea! 🧦

[@dexterlovesannie]

Evie I love this! Thankyou for being you, this was so fun - and I may even try make my own, I love this idea.

[@biaberg3448]

Wow! What a stunning hat! It’s beautiful 😍 You’re so funny, when you said that you’re head measurements hadn’t changed, I laughed so that I had to stop my spinning wheel 😂

[@Jessesmom12]

Lovely!

[@JillianEve]

Thank you!

[@CottageGore31]

Oh my goodness, this is so adorable and awesome!

[@GiselaT54]

That is adorable! It was a lot of fun to watch your process and your joy! 💖😊

[@esmeraldaarroyo6722]

I found your channel a couple of days ago and Im now binge watching your videos! You're a joy to watch and your giggles make me giggle every time! My craft is crochet and I'm a relatively new sheppardess of american Karakuls. I have an amazing amount of wool that I need to prepare for spinning (which I've never done), but this video has inspired me to try felting some of it! Thanks!

[@minecraftingmum5574]

Oh that is so cute. I have an old felt hat that needs some love and fe!t acorns? Inspired!🎉❤️

[@steviebanana5856]

so cute omg

[@merrieet]

Amazing hat, yes, you needed another acorn. I love your videos and want you to move again so we can be friends 😂

[@Bible-writing_study_project]

Really nice dream

[@CobraCreates]

For all the people who want to be elves or hobbits, you wanting to be a straight up garden gnome is fantastic. That hat is so CUTE!

[@CobraCreates]

Also, just wanna say as a needle felter, it makes me so anxious to see you felt without thimbles! Clover makes some leather thimbles that work great. I can tell you from lots of experience that felting needles hurt a lot more than sewing needles 😂

[@JillianEve]

I have some, but you couldn't see what I was doing with them on. Yes, felting needles HURT!

[@Meredith36]

This is a really beautiful hat and I love how you did the back

[@katyarncrafts]

I really enjoyed watching this video. You must be the prettiest forest gnome there is. 🧡 I would enjoy to see more videos like this. You are so inspiring. Thank you! ~ Kat

[@drasiella]

I mean... adorable

[@horsenroundstudio]

The hat turned out so adorable! I love that you're having so much fun with it, too.

[@lindagerhard8381]

The reveal! What a fun project and the hat turned out so beautifully!

[@spicyfibersfarmstead83]

I've been waiting to see if you did it!! So excited to see your process and result!! Just in time for HALLOWEEN 🎃

[@JillianEve]

Yes! 🎃🍄🦉🍂

[@atate43]

This is so amazing and I am 100% here for your forest gnome life 🧡

[@kieraoona]

This looks like you had so much fun! I really should do more needle felting cause those acorns are suuuper cute!

Funny thing I was a Dilophosaurus for Halloween this year 🤣 that is your Jurassic Park Dinosaur.

That hat is beyond awesome! Love that sweater is the design at the top an Alice Starmore chart?

The sweater is "Arboreal" from Jennifer Steingass. 🍂😊

Jillian. Evie…. You’re so darn cute,it’s tremendous …

[@nblmqst1167]

Great hat \(^-^)/ (throwing virtual confetti)

🥰🥰🥰

[@SusanS588]

Such a fun project for this time of year. Two questions. What material was your template made of? And did you make your apron? I really like the pattern made by squooshing in the tip and the embellishments are a great touch,

[@JillianEve]

It's called EVA foam. I got it at a craft store near the cosplay materials.

[@dorothythompson8139]

Just watching. Love your apron! May I ask where you bought it please?? I’ve ordered from one site n their size XL is teeny tiny!!! Thanks Evie.

[@JillianEve]

It is 100% linen from Trader Joe's.

[@mareeratcliff1983]

How did you finish the hat crown. Love the waved effect

[@JillianEve]

I just tucked it in. In my most recent live video (Spinning November Paradise Fibers) I show how the top of the hat works. Happy spinning!

[@kachsavage4047]

That's so beautiful! Can you tell us approximately how much wool you used overall? Like was it 50g or 100g for the inside and outside? I want to try this, but want to make sure I start out with more than enough fibre.

[@JillianEve]

The orange woo was about 6oz. The green was 3 oz and the white was probably another 2-3 oz. My hat came out pretty large and thick (how I wanted it) but it could be thinner or smaller too. 💖🧶

[@mountainfolkfiberarts]

Beautiful project! What material did you use as your form?

[@custommade4463]

Hi! What is the black material you originally drew your pattern on? Is it paper?

[@JillianEve]

It's foam so it can get wet. 😀
