FELTED - 2024
Available for use and download online, this project provides British wool producers with a accessible solution and support against the ongoing wool burning crisis.
Designed as a slipper that requires minimal industrial machinery, it celebrates the power of craftsmanship by inviting producers to re-purpose surplus wool using wet felting.
Using the ancient British technique of wet felting, strong textiles can be created at home, without spinning or weaving. Saving wool producers the cost of processing and transforming the fibre.
Through the use of wet felting, the slipper can be customized depending on the wool that is being used. No pair would be alike, honouring the beautiful fibre diversity seen in British wool.
