Wool Painting, 2D needle felting or simply just Painting with Wool is another type of fiber art. It’s the same concept like any other painting where you will still need a canvas of some sort and some wool instead of paint!

There are different ways of doing wool painting. You can do it only by needle felting (aka dry felting) or by wet felting and also mix of both ways.

In this class I am going to show you the needle felting way so I am not going to cover or go through the wet felting method...maybe in future classes to come.

As for canvas, you can use any kind of woven fabric like linen, cotton, flannel etc or pre-felt.

For the first part of the class, I am going to teach you how to make your own canvas from scratch using natural white wool. Making your own canvas is fun and the best part is you can make whatever size or thickness you need!

After you have made your canvas, we will start painting in the 2nd part of the class. We are going to paint a little lamb on a roughly 4”(10cm) sq canvas.

Before we start, I am going to show you the wool colors that we will be using for the painting.

Let the felting begins and have fun!
