Handmade felt is made by layering clean wool roving or fleece, adding some soap, hot water and agitation. An easy way to make small felted projects is in your kitchen sink. I used a pizza pan as the form for this circular felted pillow.

White Heart
I made the white heart for the centre of the pillow first. I used white merino top for the heart.

  • Pull the roving into small sections and layer them onto the pizza pan.
  • Fill your kitchen sink with about an inch of hot water and add a bit of dish soap.
  • Emmerse the pizza pan, with the layers of white roving into the hot water.
  • Work the wool with your finger tips, massaging it, until it begins to felt.
  • If any holes start to form, rearrange the wool to maintain an even thickness
  • Keep working at the wool until it reaches the "green" stage.
  • The Green stage is when the wool starts to hold together and maintain its' shape.
  • Then rinse the wool to remove some of the soap.
  • Remove the white felted wool from the water, and cut it into a heart shape.
