Thank you, once again, for a fabulous vlog. I always learn something new. Applying the locks really clicked with me. For some reason I never thought to lay them down in clumps. Too much gray hair. 😂

Wonderful video! ❤ That new felted yarn is perfect for mushroom gills! 😍 I was looking through the whole internet for something like that, brilliant product!

You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing what you do. This video was packed with so many wonderful items.

Love your videos, you are a great teacher

Feeling sheepish 😂

Thanks for another lovely video 😊. You could do a komondor dog with the wool. Hungarian dreadlock dog x

Another great video thank you for sharing. I did my second needle felting workshop back in March it was just a two hour introduction to needle felting which went really well. I do have a background in corporate training but I learned some quite specific key things doing this type of workshop first and foremost as you pointed out the amount of preparation time is significant much more than for the other types of training. I also prepared different stages of the item we were making and was really glad I did and lastly there is quite a big initial outlay but as you said that works out as less of a cost the more you do. The one thing I would do differently, and I liked what you did with the clover pens, is because it was an introductory workshop my kit for the day included everything they would need to take home and practice including a foam mat, extra needles, wool, finger guards, needle holders etc and next time I think I would take a set with me for peoplebto use and return and spares as an option to purchase which would help to keep the price of booking down. The thing I would do again, especially as it was a beginner workshop is taken a Sharpies container as somewhere safe to store broken needles. Thanks again Pippa your videos are always amazing and so helpful x

Aw I hope your dogs ok now? Bless her. Hope you enjoy your trip away. Loved how the dying turned out, lovely colours.

Always look forward to watching your videos. Can`t wait for the next one.

Sheep with dreadlocks...Hee hee

Oooooh Sarafina supplies in the UK, that's exciting. Last year I asked a friend who lives in Las Vegas if he could order certain items from Sarafina and then post to me, he very kindly did so and wouldn't let me pay for the supplies or postage 😇😇😇😍

Another great video 😊

Does the needle not break when it hits the wire? I want to try something with wire but I am worried about breaking my needles.

Great video thank you

The Quilt Museum in Wales has a big collection of Antique Woven Blankets and they said they regularly freeze them , to manage with the moth problem.

Thanks Phillippa , I live in fear of Nasty Moths !

I use the triangle needles now June 2024. super Sweet Avocados. Happy needle felting 🥰

Loved this video ◡̈ I’ve just bought the over the door storage via your Amazon link.

Thank you so much for taking us along, Philiippa! This was the ultimate in calorie-free eye candy!

❤❤❤

This video was fascinating and you had such talented students! I am so glad everything worked so splendidly! You are so well organized and everything seemed to be really enjoyable!

As always, a wonderfully informative video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

I've just got my first fleece, but it obviously still has clumps of dirt, grass etc in it. I managed to get the majority out using your method, but there's still some in there. I've been advised to use dog brushes to comb it out. Did you experience this problem at all?

Thank you for this video. 6 years ago I used Jaycob found it hard to shape as I was a beginner all that time ago ! didn't like it . then found world of wool thought you xxxx I brought Norwegian liked fast to felt ...gave Cheviot far too springy (for me ) .Brought Corriedale worked lovely quick to felt .liked it. New order on July 3rd 2024 , Carded Perendale Batt 250g

Amazing work ..just beautigul.

Hey question, do you think that other things will work for the finger protection, because my mom brought me one of these since i really wanted to try it and it didn't have the finger protectors and i tried something else but the needle ended up poking through the thing.

I got a ready made moth repellant on amazon. It’s made with a mixture of essential oils which include cedar and lavender, but also has citronella. It smells lovely. You dilute a few drops in water in a spray bottle. I also created a colour palette. Small boxes in a larger box. Each box holds about 20g and I simply refill when I am out of that colour from the stock which is in zip lock bags and in daylight. Love your content please keep it up 😊

Beginner here if I may a mistake can I pull it apart and start over ?

Great tutorial. Thank you🙂

Great video! Also an eye-opener. I should have thought of it myself, but I never did - of course there is a chance water will build in the see-through plastic bags I keep my wool in. (one per colour) I told my partner about the video this morning and he suggested adding rice to get rid of any moisture. Now I'll look for small, breathable bags to put the rice in. Only I'll need loads... I do have the cedar wood balls, a friend got me a diffuser and I have some lavender essential oil for it. I also have bags with actual lavender it. There is still the occasional moth in my room, so I keep all my wool closed. I have plastic containers for projects I'm working on. And the ones that don't fit in those I tie into plastic bags when i stop working.

Thanks Philippa.

lovely helpful video. thank you for the re-visit , Happy felting xxxxx

Great advice on wool storage, moth prevention, etc. I store all my wools in clear plastic containers. Like you, I also use some over the door shoe storage. I found one with large sections; way more storage than the other style. I also use opaque stacking/locking plastic boxes designed for Christmas ornaments. These are especially handy if you’re taking projects to work on to another location. To keep my stash fresh I buy lavender soap, cut it into mini bars and distribute it among the wool. Since I felt onto vintage wool blankets I also distribute soap bars among them. Love your content!

I turned on closed captioning and turned down the volume. No music

The workshops look great - really well set up. Do you include the needles in the costing for them to keep? Assuming the mats and other tools are kept for future workshops .

I use the shoe storage for smaller amounts of wool, in their bags, two to each pocket. I also label the front of each pocket with the colors. My large lot of wool (my backup wool) I also keep in their bags, and they’re all put in a large plastic tote; I don’t have a lot of space to work with (I needle felt on my kitchen table😁), so this works well to store my wool!

Thank you Philippa for a very helpful video with useful ideas, my stash is rapidly growing 😳😂. We are often away for weeks at a time so this was very useful advice, thanks again xx🤗❤️💐

So many great ideas. Thank you!

This was really helpful! Thank you. Most of my wool is in shoe cubbies like on your door or plastic bins. Love the idea of popping some lavender or cedar balls in the containers.

Thank you Phillippa for the latest video. They were very good tips that will help to keep wool in good condition. And what I like best is that the advice was for simple measures for storage and care of the wool. Brilliant!

Thank you for sharing your tips 😊❤

Thanks Philippa - having started felting these past few days, I can already sense a few purchases going to happen lol (to add to my already extensive yarn collection) so v useful to hear how you go about this. I have always had little bags of lavender in each drawer of yarn, and I also use a lavender atomiser when I am in my room to "boost" the protection offered. D
