Both authors are great textile artists so there is much in this book that is useful about how they make felt. And it's a beautifully produced book. But it really is a project book, so consider whether you want to make a lot of scarves before you buy it. If you are a beginner and want to make scarves, it could be good. If you are experienced and just like to get a few hints and ideas, borrow it! If you are a beginner and want to make art pieces, 3D work etc, buy something else. Maybe 'How we felt' by Carol Huber.

Lots of helpful details so you can make similar items - creative, talented and interesting authors, super practitioners at their craft. Brilliant for anyone wanting to make felted scarves that are out of the ordinary, using lovely wools with silks, etc. included. Super pictures too.

As a relative newcomer to felting I was a bit uncertain about this book as I was unable to look through it first which is something I really like to do. I read over the other reviews and decided to take a chance. Well, I am glad I did. There are lots and lots of great ideas with what seem to be very clear instructions in how to achieve a good finished item. Some of the scarves are quite 'way-out' but even if you don't want to make an exact copy of the item, the instructions give you good guidance on the various techniques to adapt to your own taste which is exactly what I wanted. One reviewer suggested that the designs were too 'American' but I actually didn't think so - they are very comptemporary designs and can, I think, be adapted to suit all tastes - its the techniques that are important with the pretty pictures (and there are plenty of those) to inspire you. People who enjoy felting, it seems to me, must be the sort of people who enjoy a bit of a surprise and I think this book gives good scope for experimenting. That said, it might be just MY felting that never seems to be quite what I had planned - so far the surprises have been good ones. At any rate, I think this book is excellent and I am planning to make a start in the next week on a couple of the simpler scarves and hopefully work my way up.

Slightly disappointed
The front cover enticed me to ask for this book for Christmas. There is one scarf design which I love, and a fair number of good tips, but there are a lot of revolting designs... Read more
