I've been using the same technique as you with the felting needle the last few days,I have pretty severe rheumatoid arthritis in my hands+it's killing my poor hands!! LOL..I've always used the wet felting/soap tech..have you tried it too hun?

I've done is a 3 part process,boil washed a mohair blanket into a thick background,,then I've "drawn" on my BG in merino wool+now I'm "trying" :( to add finer embellishment using your technique.

Any tips/hints to help save my hands?Thankyou v much Sophie;)

@MsMagicalCat I wish I had tips - but I haven't had much luck with wet felting. I'm sure there's someone who can help, though. I know our local arts center offers felting classes. If you can find an instructor, I'm sure he or she could help.

[amberstrocel]

@hevenly11 You can get the felting tool and the fiber at most local yarn stores.
