Last year Loriane very kindly donated some beautiful handwoven scarves to the Operation Wrapped in Remembrance project.  She did this on behalf of the Southern Felters, although the felting group, itself, wasn't actually involved.  We received this magnificent thank you though and we would like to acknowledge Loraine's efforts.

 

I'm looking forward to our first felting day of 2026

Saturday 7 February 2026 
9 am to 3pm at Halswell Hall
Christchurch, New Zealand
All welcome  

Bring along your felting projects and enjoy the felting fun. There is a $10 door charge if you are felting.  We welcome visitors who want to see what we do. As usual bring your own lunch or there are plenty of cafes nearby.   Anna will have her beautiful wool and silks for sale in the morning. I look forward to hearing what people have been doing over summer.  Attached is what I got up to with one of my felted friends on Macquarie Island.

 

Hi All

November coming up already, how did that happen? Our next felting day is this Saturday 1 November.

Same deal as usual. All welcome and don't forget to bring something to show us if you have done any felting lately. Here's hoping we have some sunny good weather by then. I hear Jane has been responsible for the creation of quite a flock of pūkeko puppets, (great weather for pūkeko today).

Visitors Welcome

Some of us have been at the Felters' Convergence in Auckland.  We have new techniques and hundreds of ideas all jumbled up in our heads waiting to get out. Photos from Convergence below. Also, some of us attended Wendy Bailye's course on surface collage a couple of weekends ago, which included felting paper onto the surface of felt.

What is the collective noun of a group of felters?????

The south Islanders at Convergence.  Around 90 felters attended
