Feltingwet

Feltingwet is a term that can refer to a specific technique or a state related to the craft of felting, particularly needle felting. In needle felting, wool fibers are entangled using barbed needles. The term "feltingwet" might describe a method where a small amount of water is introduced to the wool during the needle felting process. This moisture can help the wool fibers bind together more easily, potentially speeding up the felting process or creating a denser, more compact felted object. It's a variation that some crafters might employ to achieve specific textures or to make certain parts of a project more stable.

Alternatively, "feltingwet" could simply describe the state of the wool as it is being felted with water, a common practice in wet felting where wool is agitated with soapy water. In this context, it refers to the wool being saturated and in the process of becoming felt. The presence of moisture facilitates the friction needed for the wool scales to interlock and shrink, forming a cohesive fabric. The exact usage of "feltingwet" can depend on the specific community or individual practitioner within the broader world of fiber arts.
