Hi,
I live in Oakdale (Montville), Ct. I am starting an Art Club for the local Elementary school.
I’m looking to do some felting projects with them. I am a knitter, not a felter. Would you have any ideas for getting them started with using wool? I was thinking of getting roving and have them dye it with kool-aid and get some felting needles and old felted sweaters for the backing.
Thanks so much. Love you site.

Hi, I am thinking you are on the right track. I am more of a knitter/weaver than I am felter. If I were you I would do the koolaid dyeing, felt some old sweater and turn sew them into little bags, also you can do felted beads and make them into necklaces/ear rings. With elementary kids I would stay away from the needle felting because they hurt. I hope that helps.
