View More Images Knitting Never Felt Better by Nicky Epstein The incomparable Nicky Epstein brings her overflowing creativity and unique imagination to felting - the process of turning knitted fabric into fulled or matted wool. Nicky walks you through the felting process, explains suitable fibers so you can know what to expect from different animal fiber blends, and demonstrates dimensional felting – creating all kinds of textured surfaces with household items wrapped in knit fabric to make interesting shapes. There is a pattern library of lace, cables and colorwork, with both before and after felting pictures, so you can see the effect felting has on these different types of knitting. The results are dramatically surprising! Embellishments are shown when applied before felting and also when the felting becomes the embellishment. There are three-dimensional felted appliqués, classy felted bag handles, felted I-cord motifs and felted fringe. Nicky also includes a section on crafts you can make from old felted sweaters.
