Seller's description

The handiest tool in your tool chest will quickly become your favorite! To use your FlashFelter, begin with wool that is thoroughly saturated with water and some soap. For felting a needled tapestry, I prefer to cause the agitation on the backside and use a gentle hand to begin, becoming increasingly more aggressive. For raw wool, while the nylon curtain still covers the wool, glide the FlashFelter over the surface very gently at first. Gradually apply more pressure as the fiber strands begin to tighten. With wet felting, you want to give the strands of wool a little help coming together, while pushing out the air. Agitation is the key, forcing the strands of wool to entangle. Add more soap anytime your tool does not glide smoothly. Add more water as needed. This tool measures 5 1/2 x 6 inches and is made from lightweight recycled plastic, handcrafted in the studio and will last a lifetime. The tool comes with a bar of olive oil soap (my preferred soap) to get you started, although many soaps will work fine. ENJOY and reach out anytime you have a felting question. Superior to the old fashioned wood tools, since it is uncoated and will wear for MANY years to come! Also comes in a larger size!
Wet Felting is an important part of the tapestry process. Not only for finishing, but for making your own pre-felt from raw wool. Eventually your tapestry needle felting journey will lead you there. I use several helpful tools and this is one of them. www.thefeltingstudio.com I am adding a lot of information on my website about the process and of course it is all in my BOOK, Needle Felted Tapestries - Woolen Masterpieces and the Felted Fiber Menagerie!

Really a fantastic wet, felting tool. It is very light, which I would think many people with arthritis or dexterity issues would find to be a huge advantage. It also covers a large area and I find the straight lines and squared off edges to be very useful, for getting into tight or narrow areas of a project. Initially, I was a little bit worried because I thought it felt a little rough, but it performs wonderfully on mesh and plastic with just a touch of soapy water. I tend to felt with my hands only if I don’t have a material on top of the piece I’m working on. The handle is well attached and I found myself able to grip it in several different ways for both comfort and effectiveness. Really a great addition to my wet filtering tool collection. Thank you so much!

Thank you, Neysa for your quick service even during the holidays. I received the Flashfelter and olive soap and quickly started wet felting. I’m still not sure I’m doing it right. I always wish I could watch someone or go to a class but I haven’t found one yet that’s near me. Happy holidays and thank you !

Gave all my bubble wrap to daughter wrapping a gift for her......Figure I won't be getting much spare bubbles in the mail...and I have a stack of wet felting to do!! I've had my eye on this for a long time and purchased!! It's lovely, I believe this will be so much better than the bubbles. Many thanks to you Neysa for your usual quick service!! All's well here, hope the same for you!!! Take care, Pam
