[@yvonneiversen8749]

Such an artist! Outstanding

[@leniapanag]

That’s is a lovely hat and great technique. I was going to do the wet felting but this may be better for me. Can I ask how long does it take to roll the hat with the noodle? It seemed like a lot of time. I am planning to make mine tomorrow 🤞

[@eugeniosolari]

I must say this is the best video on felt hat making I have seen. No talk, good music, plenty images... some others are too slow and too much chatting. I just wonder if needling mold is plain felt or anything else...

[@SpryWhimsy]

Glad you liked it!

[@rosemaryboyd3451]

wow! you are amazing!!

[@debbycook824]

First time I have seen a process like this, seems like a lot of effort...

[@SpryWhimsy]

It's not quick, but unlike old style felt hats no chemicals were used

[@MummyCookie123]

Stunning finish

[@egyptianmystery]

Oh.My.Goodness! So many wonderful tips. Thank you.

Gracias!!!!

[@brendavance689]

Incredible!

[@rudyzangwill8651]

Great idea! Looks so much easier to shaper. Where can I get the cylinder? Suggestions?

[@SpryWhimsy]

We stock them in our shop. They are odd for shipping

[@floralheart]

This is very inspiring mr McMasters. Could please tell me the height and diameter of your cylinder ? I would love to buy one if you have it available. Thanks for the fabulous video.

[@SpryWhimsy]

If I recall correctly the foam is 11" high by 10" diameter . I do have them for sale to ship within the US

[@floralheart]

@@SpryWhimsy Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I'm in Switzerland, but I appreciate it anyway.

Восхитительная шляпка!

[@SpryWhimsy]

thank you

[@jeffevanholle3950]

Good job! What material is the mold you use to neerleggen punch on during the first steps?

[@tatianagant4230]

Why it’s becoming two hats after washing?

[@skripkagra]

You have chosen a very time-consuming process. Spreading the wool on a round or profile template makes it possible to spread the wool evenly. The hats will be delicate, plastic and will look good.

[@bettaasmr4423]

What is the purpose or rolling rhem in what looks like bubblewrap

[@SpryWhimsy]

This firms the felt and shrinks it down to the desired size. It is actually solar pool cover

[@bettaasmr4423]

@@SpryWhimsy ohh. Thanks for answering. Im looking up info and tutorials because im interested in working with felting☺️

[@SpryWhimsy]

@@bettaasmr4423 be sure to check out the other video lessons as well

[@Jtothemeiam]

Cool

[@Peter-hz1ig]

Hi! Did you make two hats from the single cylinder in this video, or was that a separate hat? Great video.

[@helenhodge-croom9635]

I was wondering if you could needle felt a pattern on a hay then wet felt it!! thank you for this!!! now🤔🤔can you needle felt dry onto finished wet felt or is that too hard/compressed by then?

[@SpryWhimsy]

Much to firm when finished to needle felt into

[@dshe8637]

@serendipidus1 Fascinating info, thank you

[@martinevincent7004]

Martine Thank you for your video. Can you tell me where buy the foam ? thank you very much. Great video.

[@SpryWhimsy]

I have it in my shop but have never been able to figure out how to ship it efficiently

[@martinevincent7004]

Thank you very much for your answer. Can you tell me how much you sell it ? For the sending, perharps, it is possible in a cardboard box with some bubble wrap to protect it ... Do you also sell the crowbars to make the ribs on the hat ?

[@SpryWhimsy]

Martine Dubreu the punching of put the ribs in the hat are binder clips

[@silviaperal3242]

How clining?

[@andyburke3886]

Cool art too bad there wasn’t some way to recycle the water cause that’ a lot of waterman

[@SpryWhimsy]

Not an issue in our part of the country, but other places I can see see it's an real issue.

[@faithmothergoddess7055]

hi Ive got a foam form made for me the same size as yours but if i wanted to make a childs one how small would i make it?

[@SpryWhimsy]

My kids heads were adult size by age 7

[@triciaslater4783]

What type of foam is that cylinder made of please? Is it about 10" X 12"?

[@PETERMcMasters]

11" tall x 10" diameter

[@djwright9182]

Where to order foam form fir hat?

[@laurencedusaulx3502]

yes where?? question asked 2 months ago and still no answer???

[@sharonwaddell2548]

In my town there is a foam store that caters to people who upholster furniture or make cushions etc. i will go there and see if they have any . Another option might be a futon store. They have cylinder shaped bolsters made of cotton.

[@fortysomethingbadgirls2173]

It was like watching rabbits breed!

[@Moonlight-kp7lu]

❤️❤️❤️❤️🇷🇺

[@alexandrageronikos5966]

Awesome but a lot of work

[@AngelGomez-ki3er]

Amazing, but him waste toooo mucho water.

[@SpryWhimsy]

I could see that as a problem in the west. But here in WI water is plentiful. And required for felting.
