Hi my names Suzanara I am a felter living in Peterborough. As I am vegan I do my needle felting with Japanese vegan fibres, I make mainly flowers and 2d pictures. At the moment I am experimenting making varied colour sheets to work with. ![]() |

Welcome to the forum. What are the fibres you are using? There are lots of non-animal fibres out there now.

Welcome Suzanara, glad you joined us. We'd love to see what you are creating and hear about the different fibers that you use. There is information in the FAQ section that shows how to post photos.

Hi Suzanara. That sounds interesting! Like the others I'd be interested to see your work  I'm not vegan but look for wool from more ethical sources and am always interested in alternatives, particularly natural fibres. Maybe you don't believe in using any animal products at all in which case ignore the following! But if you are interested in experimenting with wool I have found a few companies: Vegetarian wool company (basically pet sheep looked after with care and compassion!) www.vegetarianwoolcompany.co.uk/vegetarian-wool/ Ewe Love - Rescue sheep sheared out of necessity and money raised goes back in to looking after the sheep www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Eweloveshop?section_id=28689095They aren't dyed...but then you can start dyeing at home which is another adventure in itself!! |
