felted tapestry crochet in new book

[Carol Ventura]

Felting and tapestry crochet were made for each other! The felted fabric is patterned and the thick cloth is perfect for accessories. My new "Bead & Felted Tapestry Crochet" book includes 9 felted projects (some of which also have beads). You can see the projects at http://iweb.tntech.edu/cventura/BFTCprojects.htm

 

What is tapestry crochet? With tapestry crochet, one or more yarns are carried while another is single crocheted. Tapestry crochet does not look crocheted. In fact, the surface looks so much like woven fabric, that most people think that tapestry crocheted pieces are made on a loom! Please look at my web page at http://iweb.tntech.edu/cventura/rightstitches.html to see the stitch. For more information about my books and links to free projects with tutorials, please look at http://www.tapestrycrochet.com/

 

I hope you will give it a try!

Unique projects,Carol!

The large hook sizes used for the felted projects make them go fast, the colored yarns create a pattern on both sides of the cloth, and felting in the washing machine is magical! I DO hope you will try it!
