See Jane LaFazio demonstrate her techniques for making these small works of art using the needle felting machine -- you can order the DVD's from the Quilting Arts Website. Here is the link:
The kits can be used to needle felt with hand held needles or a needle felting machine, they can be wet felted or a combination of the two. There are tutorials and instructions for felting on the "Instructions" tab.
Can't decide? Buy two and save. Email me your color choices. I also sell extra pieces of the wool prefelt with roving -- see the last item on this page.

The sample below is a piece I needle felted using hand held needles then wet felted. See the tutorial for making the iPhone bag on the instructions page. The sky was done using a silk hankie which you may order separately -- see that page. I used wool yarns and some silk sari yarn from my stash to finish.


Light coppery browns, biege, light and dark blue with a splash of lilac. Jane LaFazio is going to make us a sample using this kit.


This piece is entitled "Burgundy Glow" and is one Jane LaFazio made with a kit that is now discontinued.

Soft corals and pinks, beautiful pale gold and olive green. Here is another amazing piece made by Jane LaFazio with this kit. 

This one has warm oranges, coppers, red purple and a touch of blue purple -- on a paprika background. (please note -- I do not sell this color of prefelt separately)



Invigorating blues, blue greens and a touch of lime. Fun colors.
This piece was made by needle felting with hand held needles then it was wet felted. I cut small strips of fabric on the bias and needle felted them onto the prefelt with wisps of wool to hold the fabric in place. (see my tutorial on the instructions page for making the iPhone case). I then wet felted to get everything combined to form one fabric. You will be creating a highly textured fabric that you can do whatever you would like with. 

I have dupioni covered journals which you may purchase for $15 -- I have a few colors in stock, please email to check for available colors.
If you would like to order extra pieces of the merino prefelt to play with, I sell the 10 X 16 inch pieces of prefelt with 5 grams of coordinating merino wool for $4. Available in olive green, marine blue, rustic red, deep brown, purple, periwinkle, black and natural.

The kits now contain 5 colors of hand dyed silk in larger pieces than in the past, wool prefelt, wool roving, silk velvet and cheesecloth. The yarns and silk hankie have been discontinued. (You can buy the silk hankie separately if you like to work with it.)
I've come up with a size of prefelt to start with that seems to work in so many ways AND I've included so many different textures that I decided to call these "everything kits". See what you can come up with for them!
See the "instructions" tab to learn how to wet felt or needle felt or some combination of the two!
The starting size for the prefelt is approximately 10"X16". This size will felt down to about 8"X12" (if you wet felt it), depending on how much silk is on top and how hard the piece is fulled. (the silk causes the prefelt to keep it's shape and shrink less, so if the piece is entirely covered with silk, it will shrink less). If you needle felt using a needle felting machine the prefelt will not shrink. These kits provide great materials to use with your needle felting machines.
Here are some things people have made with these kits other than pieces of art:
Cut the prefelt to size and make a cuff
Make a pouch for your jewelry or cell phone
Make a book cover for an artist's book or a needle case
Cut and shape it and use it as the flap for a purse
Cut the piece lengthwise, needle it together and make a neckwrap
Cut the finshed piece into smaller pieces and use them to embellish a jacket or for greeting cards or ATC's
This is fun!
