Felted Juggling Balls

Last weekend we decided to felt some juggling balls. It was a family affair and we all did it together. I used this tutorial but put white fleece over first, then the coloured fleece. I was going from memory so had forgotten how this blog applied their fleece, so will make some more this weekend.












This was so much fun and I recommend everyone give it ago. These balls have been constantly played with all week.

Awesome! I've been wondering about destashing all my fibre as I don't know when I'll ever get the chance to spin...but they look great! In fact, I have a wee girl's 1st birthday coming up in a week, would they be suitable for a little girl?

That is such a brilliant idea! I have a bit of a thing about felting smell though. Yours look gorgeous.
I love that little knitted dress too. X

morning jo, thanks for the quilt love ! i love your felting...i would like to try the felt balls, i did one and it didnt turn out oh so well..but your method of yarn underneath seems to make better balls. looks like fun with the kids too! i LoVE your needle case, i am desperately in need of one, my needles are scattered everYWHERe. drives me batty. i like the little peeking window. ive looked at patterns to make my own..but they never look 'sturdy'. butyours does. is it oilcloth or vinyl you used?
xx
