Felting mittens - a master class

Knitted mittens today no one is surprised, but performed in the technique of wet felting - easily! Read the master class on felting mittens, and you will understand that it is very simple.

MK "Felting mitten from wool"

Prepare a pattern of mittens, wool for felting different colors and polyethylene film with pimples. Pattern is easy to make from the already available mittens of your size or simply by circling your palm on paper. Spread the wool on the film, laying the fibers across the pattern.

Now form the second layer, laying the fibers of the wool in the opposite (longitudinal) direction. Both layers of wool must be sufficiently dense.

Decorate the product with colored silk threads.

Moisten the mitten blanks with water from the spray gun.

Then they should be gently lathered with a normal or liquid soap.

And grind the soap with your hands.

Now cover the future mittens with a pimply film.

Roll it into a roll with the hair in the middle.

Wrap the resulting roll with a cloth and secure it with rubber bands, and then start rolling it like a rolling pin. This should be done for at least 10 minutes, and the roll should be in different directions, so that the fibers of the wool are well matched.

Then untwist the roll and cut out the resulting layers of mittens.

We connect the two parts together, laying a thin film between them.

And we repeat paragraphs. 4-9, so that both elements merge into one.

The product is almost ready! Now you need to shape your thumb.

Try on the mitten and if the compartment for the thumb is too large, lather the hair on the hand and rub this part so that it takes the desired shape.

In the technique of wet felting, you can make and children's mittens - only the size of the pattern will differ.
