​Throughout three meetings, we will systematically and without haste gain the knowledge of felting clothes in the 'cobweb' technique. All without cutting, sewing and without wasted fibers. First, everyone will make their own pattern, shrink it, and calculate the shrinkage factor. We will then use the existing cut (desired final shape and size) as a basis, which we will increase according to special rules and the calculated shrinkage factor. Finally we will wet-felt the item. If there is some time left, everyone will be able to make another product in the same technique.

Cobweb felt is considered to be the thinnest, most translucent and softest woolen fabric created with wet felting. We will use the softest merino wool in the sliver, with the possibility of adding silk, linen, viscose, linen, ramie and other fibers. In any colors, effects and patterns you like.
