| A Satisfied Customer's Testimony to the Wonderful Qualities of Icelandic Wool for Felting: "Laurie, Start shearing now...I'm hooked on your Icelandic wool! Wow! This stuff felts like a dream...way, way, WAY easier than the Romney I used on the first two hats! ...I really can't believe how much easier this is to felt. I laid out the batts last night and was just going to get started, then work on it the next couple of days...but in a couple short hours last night I had it felted tighter and firmer than the two hats I have done! I think one more short session of wringing and rolling and it will be ready for final shaping already! That's less than a quarter of the time taken by the Romney wool!" Wanda Pictured above left is Wanda's first hat felted from Icelandic wool. Note how stiff the brim is for its width - a characteristic possible without using stiffeners when felting with Icelandic wool. Photo courtesy of Wanda Tate.
