Wet Felted Mitten Class

Heritage Wet Felting: Make Your Own Wool Mittens

Learn a traditional craft and leave with your own pair of handmade wool mittens!

Join Aliza Novacek-Olson of Homespun Legacies for a hands-on wet felting workshop. You’ll learn how wool, warm water, soap, and plenty of hands-on work come together to create warm, durable felted mittens. Choose your colors and make them your own.

No experience is needed. Wet felting is a physical process that requires hand and arm strength and involves working with hot, soapy water.
