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: “tovning” which is most used, or “filtning”. “Tovning” can also be translated to roughly “tangling [of fibers]”, whereas “filtning” has the same etymology root as “felt” 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.
