Felting at Kiri Cottage Crafts Club

Kiri Cottage Felting 1

Thanks to Karen for her expert felting tuition on our last Craft Club meeting. Photos below, plus a selection of what other club members were working on.

Celtic Braids

Kiri Cottage Celtic Braids 2

Some photos from my last two Ards and North Down craft classed in the Ards Arts centre.

We made Celtic Braids, using lucets to make the braids, which were then attached to linen squares to make wall hangings.
On the second evening we made pretty, beaded flowers from wool.

Kiri Cottage Lucet 1

I was asked to host a crafty birthday party a few days ago, and the ladies and gentleman participants agreed to have a go at peg loom weaving. We used rovings, washed and dyed fleece, and various balls of yarn.
With a little time left, between morning coffee, some, buns and cake, later helpings of the same, and sandwiches and birthday cake at lunchtime, we had a go at learning to use a lucet – to great effect.
