A new craft to try

I haven't tried needle felting with cat fur, but it sounds intriguing. If you give it a try, let us know how it turns out!

My sister in law made me this it's 27x25cm and I put it into a box frame so the needle felting wouldn't get dusty.

Gwyllt one cat black and white, other tortoiseshell and white but strangely most of their combed out fur looks grey. Good idea to first try with wool whilst I save up cat fur.

I’ve spun the undercoat of dog.
Wasn’t enough to do anything with it
What colour is the cat
You could try the technique with some wool and save the cat hair till you have mastered the technique

You’ve nothing to lose except, perhaps your fingertips 😁

And two rather chilly cats! 🐈🐈

I would never have imagined that cat fur felting was 'a thing', so was surprised to find when I googled it a moment ago that it really is. Apparently the soft, fluffy undercoat is the best, though the fluffy undercoat of dogs felts even better!

Let us know how you get on, watermeadow.

I’d give it a try! You’ve nothing to lose except, perhaps your fingertips (poor Callistemon!).
Cat hair is “sticky” so should felt with the needles. Think how it forms a ball if you roll it it in your hands.

deleting??
Felting!

The only time I tried deleting, with wool, imstabbed my fingers more than the wool.

I know some people make lovely things, but it wasn't for me or my fingers.

I wouldn’t want to try! The birds will appreciate the combings in the nesting season.
