About The Artist
Wendy Allen • Durham, NC
Clothing & Accessories • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
I specialize in wet felted Merino wool hats, & other accessories. My designs are made using a series of 3D resists & a multi-stepped process whereby parts are partially felted & then manipulated through sewing or other means before being combined. I also employ needle felting & surface embellishment in my process. The blocking & finishing of the hats is done using professional millinery practices combined with methods of my own device to suit the peculiarities of working with hand-felted wool.

I employ needle felting for both surface and 3D embellishments and often incorporate ribbon, feathers, beads, lace and found objects into my work.
