As promised, we are able to offer our readers a 20% coupon from Prairie Point Junction. (Use the button at the top of our right column to receive the coupon.) This is where Michelle and I get all our wool felt from. This is not 100% wool felt, but rather a blend. You can use it as is or "felt it" at home for additional softness and thickness. Their site gives you tips on how to do this. For the most part, we use the felt as is. If you are making something that will experience a lot of wear and tear, you may wish to "felt" the felt.
We would like to extend a heart felt thank you to the ladies at Prairie Point Junction. They are requesting that this is a "one time" coupon for Wee Folk Art readers. I plan to restock my felt stash! FYI…tomorrow I will be posting directions for our Kitty Cat Doorstop and next week I’ll have the Puppy Dog Doorstop directions posted. We will leave the coupon up so in the future all new members can utlize the coupon. So, if you’re interested on working on your felt stash, this is a great opportunity. Have fun shopping!
is there still a coupon available on this page? I am not seeing it. Thanks!
Sorry, no there isn't. That was a posting from 4 years ago! OMGoodness, I can't believe it's been that long! But even without a coupon, it is still a wonderful shop to find wool blend felt.
How do you “felt” the wool blend sheets? I couldn’t find instructions on their website. I’m new to this!
The easiest way I find is to run them through the washer and drier. Because they are not 100% wool felt, they will not felt as much as 100% wool, but it does give it a slightly denser appearance and a softer feel.
I highly recommend you always test a small piece to see if you are satisfied with the results.
Also, here is the link for the Prairie Point Junction/Wool Felt info on felt. http://prairiepointjunction.com/Wool-Blend-Felt-Info/
On the page you will find: Tips for Working With Wool Felt. There is a place there to download a pdf with lots of helpful hints to prepare and work with wool blend felt.
Hope this helps and have fun!
