In the Spring I joined a project 'Knitting the Map', that was felting a yurt. Below is the framework of the yurt that that was made last year. Last weekend after lots of planning, trial runs and bad weather the first wall panel (1 of 18 not including the roof) was completed. Barny, the horse, performed beautifully and pulled the rolled felt around the field in the traditional method used by the Mongolian nomadic tribes. All the panels will depict the East Sussex rural countryside and sea. Flowers, animals, birds and leaves for the trees will be added at other events involving the public. All the wool is hand dyed using plants. It was a long process and now there are plans to try and get an industrial felting roller to speed up the process. Watch this space!
