Enjoy the meditative art of wet felting

Working with your hands has always been a meditative practice for us here at Gathered. And few crafts use your hands more than wet felting!

This calming craft takes your mind away from the stresses of everyday life. Enjoy the repetitive motion of pulling, placing and needling your wool into place. Felting really is a craft you can lose yourself in and is the ideal project to try this weekend.
