The days are growing shorter and colder. You stay more at home, looking for the coziness of the sofa, a hot tea and a nice book. Yes, Fall is about to start In a week, to be more precise.

This is a time of the year I really love. I like the slower pace, and going for long walks to enjoy the colors of the trees and the wind in my face

Something else I love is to stay home listening to music and experimenting with wool.

The 3-part video workshop on how to wet felt a ring with a right size is now available in my shop.

It can be used as a basis for developing more complex shaped rings or just as a simple ring, that you can then decorate with beads or embroidery, for example.

This short course has also been added as a free BONUS to the ring video bundle. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered how to get the exact size when you’re felting a ring?

I mean, as you know, wool shrinks considerably when felted and the shrinkage varies a lot, depending on factors like wool type, amount of wool you use, how much you felt, water temperature and so on.

So, how do you get the right size?

That’s exactly what I’m sharing with you today, in my new “How To” series. Have a look and download the mini-course!
