VERA Platform_732 Felting "Felting is a technique of joining fibers together. It can be done dry or wet, and Carina Haglund uses wet felting. In Swedish there are two different words usually used for felting: \u201ctovning\u201d which is most used, or \u201cfiltning\u201d. \u201cTovning\u201d can also be translated to roughly \u201ctangling [of fibers]\u201d, whereas \u201cfiltning\u201d has the same etymology root as \u201cfelt\u201d in English. Filtning (or felting in English) is done wet, and Haglund expresses that she rather presents what she makes in her studio as filtning, rather than tovning." iain Swedish Intangable Heritage IMAGE University of St Andrews VERA Platform 701 "Felting is a technique of joining fibers together.
