So, for instance I would start with a "cartoon" of a peace sign and then fill it in with black yarn, then fill in the background with colored yarn. The result was pretty stiff - intended as something like the cover of a notebook - but I'll bet you could do something similar on fabric. At any rate - it's fabulous!LauraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592353267304087555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432405409433924631.post-31835826535856592802008-12-30T22:20:00.000-08:002008-12-30T22:20:00.000-08:00I think you might be able to copy this by sewing t...I think you might be able to copy this by sewing the yarn into a base fabric. The top thread would the water soluable and the bobbin thread would be the kind that melts when heated. After sewing all the yarn on, you would then steam iron the whole thing so that the bobbin threads melt and hold the yarn on and the top thread disappears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432405409433924631.post-31895021960005098002008-12-12T11:27:00.000-08:002008-12-12T11:27:00.000-08:00I also think it is needle felted, most likely by m...I also think it is needle felted, most likely by machine. Several companies make dedicated needle felting machines, but Bernina also has a needle felting attachment that can be purchased for some newer machines (like my Artista). Like others have said, I think this item probably has a substrate of wool felt, with lots of wool yarn laid on top; then it's felted by machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432405409433924631.post-5821020245110920902008-12-11T23:42:00.000-08:002008-12-11T23:42:00.000-08:00It looks felted to me.

You can use a thick wool felt base, lay yarn on it, and punch it in as much or as little as you want.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928141607971412096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432405409433924631.post-72084432118375481252008-12-04T13:52:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:52:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Simona Gargiulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014329314331573473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432405409433924631.post-56208325062580236692008-12-04T13:51:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:51:00.000-08:00yes, i think it's yarn too...wool yarn!!!;-)Sorry ...yes, i think it's yarn too...wool yarn!!!;-)<BR/>Sorry for my english, i'm italian!!;-)<BR/>kisses,<BR/>SimonaSimona Gargiulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014329314331573473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432405409433924631.post-73055233669394028522008-12-01T17:25:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:25:00.000-08:00Jan: by embellisher machine, do you mean the hand...Jan: by embellisher machine, do you mean the hand-held dryers used in rubber stamping to emboss?
