I'm getting ready to start on making snowmen for this Christmas' gifts. Normally I just use sweater sleeves to make the snowman's shirts and hats, but this year I think I would like to try felting them first.

Ok first I know nothing about felting. Please does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on this?

I was browsing sweaters at the goodwill the other day and found a beautiful one. It was made of wool and angora. I know you can felt wool, but can you felt angora too? Or what would be the best material for felting?

Thank you!

I've done angora blends. . .felted up nicely--my daughter has a winter hat made of an angora/wool/acrylic blend that is nice and warm.

Thanks Shelia! I've been afraid to try it. It's such a pretty sweater and I hate to ruin it.
