0 the activity of making wool or other cloth into felt (= a thick, soft cloth) by rolling and pressing it and using hot water or a special needle:
The works in the exhibit are blends of knitting, sewing, quilting, felting, crochet and other techniques involving textiles.
Next came the transformation from raw material into processed goods via spinning, weaving, felting, or other methods.
The kits feature full colour, step-by-step instructions that make needle felting an accessible craft, even for beginners.
For most of us, felting is something that happens by mistake. You throw a wool sweater into the washer and it comes out thick and five sizes smaller.
The fabric does tighten up a bit in the wash, but I haven't had any true felting.
