Thanks Abigail and Nancy. If you leave the prefelts very soft they are still very easy to use in nuno felt and I’m glad to hear I’m not the only obsessive with a bit bag, I should use mine more for needlefelt.

Thank you for a great and inspirational tip! I used handcarders, but this really inspires me to make some pre-felts with leftovers from a felt-ring making bonanza for the holidays! You also make a great point that fibers that have been sitting around in not the best conditions, or they’re just old, can be rejuventated by making them into a pre-felt. Now it’s just working out when I can use them in a nuno felt design!

I totally agree!! Love my carders to bits, using them you can create such nice homemade blends. And I also have a odds and ends bit bag, its so useful! Good for small bits when needlefelting too…
