Knit felting wool – out of love for nature
Knit felting wool is one of the most beautiful natural materials that can be used for creative projects. It is made from 100% pure new wool and is available in a wide range of colours. Choose either the finest wool for needle felting or for wet felting. Or you can use Wash + Filz’It knit felting wool for knitting felt.
Hats, blankets, jackets or slippers made from knit felting wool are particularly good at regulating temperature (keeping you warm) whilst also being hard-wearing.
Felting or knitting with knit felting wool is a wonderfully soothing activity and is therefore often used for therapeutic purposes. Being creative with both hands is very relaxing. What’s more, it results in beautiful, practical or decorative natural items.
What makes knit felting wool special?
In its unfelted state, natural wool is very soft. It consists of many small fibres which, during the fulling process, bind together to form a felted fleece. As soon as the wool is fulled with soap – whether kneaded by hand or, in the case of knitting felt, using a tennis ball in the washing machine – the typical felt structure and appearance emerge.
Creating with knit felting wool isn’t just fun for adults – it’s also a great leisure activity for children. Enjoy getting creative with the wool!
