    Free download: Guide to calculating shrinkage in wet felts

    Wet felting is a handcrafted textile technique that compacts wool with hot water, soap and friction to produce firm, uniquely finished pieces.. A crucial factor for success is the accurate calculation of wool shrinkage. If this step is ignored, the results can be incorrect measurements, wasted material and unprofessional finishes. To make this process easier, Domestika offers a free PDF resource detailing a simple and accurate method for calculating shrinkage. What is shrinkage in wet felting? Shrinkage in wet felting refers to the change in size and density that the wool undergoes during the process. As the fibers interlock and compact, the piece shrinks in size. For example, a project that starts with a wool surface of 30 x 30 cm may end up with final dimensions of 25 x 25 cm. This reduction is significant and should be anticipated in order to plan each piece correctly. Why it is important to calculate shrinkage. Calculating shrinkage before starting a wet felting project is critical for several reasons: Avoid errors in measurements and proportions. You ensure that your final piece has the correct dimensions. Optimize materials and time. You save wool and avoid repeating the process due to lack of foresight. Achieve more professional finishes. By mastering the technique, your creations will look more accurate and precise. Domestika's free resource: downloadable PDF. So you can apply this knowledge, Domestika has created a free PDF guide that explains step-by-step how to calculate shrinkage in wet felting. In it you will find: - Clear and simple explanations. - Practical examples. - Detailed steps to perform your own calculations. The best thing is that this material comes directly from the Mastering Wet Felting: Create Decorative Wool Items course, taught by an expert in the technique.
