Needle Felt an "Ugly" Christmas Sweater

Make your own ugly Christmas sweater with felting! Using wool roving and barbed needles, you’ll be creating your own festive masterpiece on a knit sweater to wear to your next holiday party. This technique can also be used to repair holes or cover stains, and bring life to an old sweater! If you bring your own sweater, make sure it’s knit and preferably not too thin. Very thin sweaters (think closer to t-shirt material) may develop holes or felted on. If you don't have a sweater, you can felt on a scarf, pants, anything you'd like a Christmas tree on!
