Felting with bicycle

Felting is an ancient craft technique that gives us unlimited opportunities to develop our work.

People have used wool for felting for centuries. Sheep wool is used to make various items, such as yurts and rugs. Because these objects are hugely large, they were forced to use the power of a horse.

Fortunately, the traditions have survived and even today, and in Mongolia, Kazakhstan and other countries, for example, felt is treated according to the old principle. I have seen yurts and rugs when I went to a sports camp in Kyrgyzstan. You can find photos and information online for yourself if you are interested in exploring cultural images. In this article, I would like to talk about felting with the help of a bicycle.

History must not be forgotten, so under that sign I would like to organize felting courses with a horse. While preparing the material for the courses, I had the idea to use a bicycle instead of a horse, as horses are far from me.

I was more than happy with the result. Yes, bicycle felting can basically be used by anyone if a horse is missing. The condition gets better and at the same time the road gets treatment. Also, its positive effects on pleasure and well-being should not be forgotten.

Would you like to try these and what would you like to felt? I look forward to your answers in the comments!
