Anyone who has ever felted will know
how much felt shrinks. This means if I want to make a normal size hat
I have to start off making it about three times bigger! So, I made a
really big mould to start my hats off. And here it is covered with
wool.
When it holds enough together I remove
it from the big mould and continue felting without a mould. When I
finish felting I put it on the real size mould to give it the final
shape and size.
