Needle felting, also known as dry felting, does not require the use of water to create the desired results. The result of dry felting is usually a three-dimensional object.
Wet felting involves the combining of wool fibers to create a piece of fabric by using water and soap. It can also be used to create two-dimensional artwork. Compared to other methods of textile creations, wet felting is a simple technique with multiple steps involving heat, moisture, pressure, agitation and a change in pH levels.
Nuno felting is a third technique invented in the 1990s by Australian artist Polly Stirling. Wool is incorporated into an open weave fabric like silk chiffon to create a lightweight felt. The term “nuno” actually lends itself from the Japanese term meaning “cloth.”
