Learn To Needle Felt

Where: Hyde Park, NY

Clover Brooke Farm in Hyde Park offers classes in needle felting. What is needle felting you ask? Sheep's wool has tiny barbs along the fibers that can make it catch hold of other fibers if the right type of pressure is applied. Poke a barbed needle into a pile of cleaned wool and the right kind of pressure is achieved. Do it enough times and you can coax wool into shapes. Needle felting is therapeutic - give it a try!
