I've been enjoying all your videos, I'm still working on getting slippers perfected. Thanks for sharing your expertise with all these techniques the possibilities with wool are so inspiring.

[@muffsmerino]

So glad to hear you are enjoying the vides especially about the slippers! They are definitely my favourite felted item so far. Once you wear felted slippers you never go back! 😍Were you able to achieve a wearable pair after watching the video? It can take much time and practise for perfection.

[@maryb6559]

@@muffsmerino I made just one so far not a pair, so I could get the fit correct but yes the instructions totally worked and I plan on making my pair soon and everyone I know a pair for the holidays 😆

[@muffsmerino]

@@maryb6559 So glad to hear the instructions worked whew 😅 and so encouraging. They make for really nice gifts and then the whole family wants a pair 😆

Thankyou for all you do! Wishing you all the best and I honor your self care and here is to your healing! Your videos are so helpful and inspiring. I love your humor and inserts! I have brain fog too and it does take the need for self care when much else is just not possible. Love and appreciation for all your great tutorials! 🧶💐

[@muffsmerino]

Awe thank you so much. I am still dealing with it but also realised I am not a multitasker. When I made these videos, I made 30, all in a row. I can only do it when I only focus on that. So I will make a decision to do another 30 videos in a row in the future. Lots of ideas planned. Thank you for your encouraging comments.

I am sorry to hear you struggle with your health. Thank you very much for the videos you post. Any time they come works for me, no expectations. :)

[@muffsmerino]

That is so nice to hear. Thank you so much. Sometimes I feel like I need to be consistently posting new videos and people ask why I stopped posting videos! All my video plans are still coming. So much I want to do for the future. All very excited about it still. But yeah they will come out as they do...

You are amazing¡. THANK YOU for sharing your talented self with us❤

[@muffsmerino]

Thank you for your lovely and encouraging comment 🤍

I’m new to felting and loving learning how much you can do with these wonderful fibres! Your videos are totally fab and I really love the way you love to experiment and create these wonderful exciting details textures and sculptures. I’m learning a huge amount from you and relive your style ❤

[@muffsmerino]

Its very exciting all the things you can do! I didn't know how much I would feel so inspired by others who want to learn. I begin to imagine all the things you will all create. Thank you for your encouraging comment. I am feeling encouraged to continue making more videos, especially the experimental ones, so that others know the potential of what can be done with the techniques, or from what I don't get right! So valuable.

[@marushka123]

❤️ I love this. I have bought a few alpaca fleeces (the whole thing that comes off when they are sheered) I need to clean them a bit still and then card them. After that I want to use them to make felt. This is such a fantastic technique. Please don’t be so extremely modest. You are really good at what you do and it is something to be proud of. It won’t make you arrogant to know this about yourself. I’ll be watching all your videos to give me more ideas of what is possible so I want to thank you for your excellent tutorials. 😘

[@muffsmerino]

That is so kind thank you. I don't realise I am doing this, being so modest. I am going to look into this, see if its some habit I can break or confidence/worth issue right! So glad you like the tutorials, thank you for sharing. Hopefully I will hear from your again about your fleeces in time and how they felt up!

[@flamingomtn]

I really like this look. I'll have to try this soon. Thanks!

[@xinyili9241]

yeees i would like to see more videos about feltings your video makes my day hihihi !

[@jessicadanielson4543]

That technique could make an awesome *pleated* skirt 😻 thanks for sharing!

[@muffsmerino]

I know right! There are so many things you could do with it. It drapes quite nicely and I didn't think of the Pleat. Great Idea :)

[@valerie-og4ui]

You’re awesome ! Finally In the mood for more felting ( I’m a brain fogger as well) .. I’m using circles in layers but am paused. Be well , looking forward to your videos .

[@muffsmerino]

Oh thank you for the lovely comment and for watching :) I hope you get some moments of clarity, the fog can be tiring. We do what we can!

[@barbarajohnson8310]

Enjoyed this video, now trying to think what I could make using this idea

[@muffsmerino]

Ha yah you got me thinking too 🤔 What else could be made… it’s an interesting technique. Please let us know what you come up with!

[@Moonlight-kp7lu]

Brilliant 👍

[@muffsmerino]

Thank you for the comments. All encouraging :)

Thank you for sharing ..stay blessed

[@muffsmerino]

Thank you kindly for watching :)

[@dougsteets9984]

This turned out really well! I’ve only used a resist a couple of times but haven’t tried using multiple colours. Thanks for the inspiration :).

[@muffsmerino]

Yah it turned out nice, thank you and there are so many other things you could make wth layering colours! I am in to inspire!

[@debraraiche3327]

please check volume ...tuff to hear you. Thank you for your videos!

[@muffsmerino]

Ok! Thanks for feedback! Next video I make I check for it :) I find sound very challenging. Need to use a microphone but it’s not as easy as it sounds on my phone camera haha. Maybe time for new camera ;)

[@mykawilcox4382]

Awesome, I wondered how to do this! How hot was your water? I have trouble getting my merino to felt.

[@muffsmerino]

Oh, that would not be a fun start to your felting project. I do not use any hot water in my projects except at the very end for felted slippers or larger projects that require durability. Is it just the Merino? One reason could be not enough water. Sometimes it can be too much soap or not enough soap. If that is not it, it could be too much rolling pressure too soon. Merino wool requires a very gentle roll and progression into felting. Also, if it is a water issue, hot water will shock the fibre ends and they will not felt.

[@mykawilcox4382]

@@muffsmerino I had quite a bit of water… almost thought to much. The merino was a 70/30 blend with bamboo. My water was never hot because the garage was cool and it wouldn’t hold heat anyway lol.

[@muffsmerino]

@@mykawilcox4382 ​ Ya same, this is why I don't bother with the hot water through the process until the end. I have not felted with bamboo but it should felt fine if it is mostly wool. There are many reasons why it may not have felted so its hard to know what to suggest!

[@mykawilcox4382]

@@muffsmerino I can get the merino to felt alone, but I was trying to add teeswater locks and the locks wouldn’t felt to the merino. It was strange

[@muffsmerino]

@@mykawilcox4382 oh that is strange. Sometimes if the locks are very thick only parts might not stick. Hard to say.
