CREATIV FESTIVAL 2014 @WORKSHOPS


This is Cecilia Ho, our fiber artist & DIY kit designer, 
second year as Guest Instructor at Creativ Festival. 

 
A total of 3 felting workshops were offered during the event.
 
 
 
A special THANK YOU to Harmonique Fibre Arts Supply Inc. 
(Ashford NZ's Canadian distributor) who generously sponsored all
felting needles & felting foams for the workshops!
 
  
 Oct 23 : 3-hr Wool Felted Cake Keepsake 




It's nice to have a small group on Thursday morning.
Time flew by so fast & 3 hours is really not enough!
 
But glad to teach a group from local Ontario
PLUS one who traveled from NY to attend this class!
 
-------------------------------------------


Oct 24 : 1.5-hr Wool Stocking (2D Needle Felting)
 




This is another fun class to teach a group
who never encounter felting before!
 
After their first try-out, they enjoy so much
& making something special for their special ones!
 
As a teacher, it's always happy to share what I know.
And always it's nice to know my students are happy about their works!
 
-------------------------------------------
 

Oct 25 : 1.5-hr Felt-a-Tote
 


 
This was a large group with a whopping 15 students in this workshop.
 
Most likely Saturday morning class is the best schedule for most to attend.
 
We all had an amazing time!
Especially each can go through a big pile of wool fibers
& choose her own colors to create her own design & needle felt on the tote bag.
 
I wish I could capture all unique tote bags from everyone.
The more important is that everyone enjoys needle felting after all.

SOCK MONKEY WOOL


Hooray!
 
We just received another 2kg Gray Merino Wool
to pack our most popular Felting DIY Kit - Sock Monkey !

ALPACA OR MERINO


Merino sock monkey (Left) meeting Alpaca/Merino sock monkey (Right).
 
Which one you like more?
 
Depends on the quality of the fibers, Alpaca & Merino are relatively soft fleece among others.
 
Alpaca = 18 to 25 micron in diameter
Merino = 12-24 micron in diameter
 
Thus, Alpaca fleece, similar to Merino Wool, does not have the "scratchy" feeling.
 
"Any wool finer than 25 microns can be used for garments,
while coarser grades are used for outerwear or rugs.
The finer the wool, the softer it is,
while coarser grades are more durable and less prone to pilling."

BLACKNOSE SHEEP


Just came across a beautiful photo taken from my highschool classmate
who visited Switzerland earlier & took a close snap shot of the Bluenose Sheep!
 
Ain't they really cute?!
Blacknose Sheep from Switzerland - a dual-propose breed raised for both meat & wool.
 


 
Then looking at our very own SHEEP 3D Wool Charm,
 
don't they look alike?!
 
 
All DIY Kits now available from 40+ local shops near you
