Feltuary2024: What’s Your Favourite Book?

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

Feltuary

Feltuary2024 is a social media idea created by the Northeast Feltmakers Guild (NEFG). Wet felters and needlefelters can share examples of their work on a different topic or theme each day. You can share on Instagram or Facebook, daily or occasionally. It’s all up to you!

Please use the hashtag #feltuary2024 and tag @northeastfeltmakersguild so that others can find what you have shared.

The theme for the 7th of February is ‘A Favorite Fiber Book’.

What is your favourite fibre book?

Naturally, Feltmakers Ireland has a favourite book – ‘Exploring Irish Wool for Feltmaking‘, a much-needed book on the subject of felting with Irish-raised wool.

The book includes an introduction by Minister Pippa Hackett, who is herself a sheep farmer. There are chapters on scouring, dyeing, and felting with local wools. Volunteers within our guild sampled fibre from over 40 species of sheep under the guidance of guild member Annika Berglund.
