EMBELLISHER

An Embellisher is a machine that makes felt. It enmeshes the fibres using 5 barbed needles - see the useful finger guard. The results are very intereesting, dependent upon the raw materials used.

I plan to experiment further using silk instead of roving. The first piece was merino wool embellished into calico.
