A natural fiber like wool offers a lot of versatility for knit and crochet projects. Wool has so many wonderful properties—memory and elasticity, durability, moisture-wicking and temperature regulating abilities, and natural anti-microbial properties. It’s also perfect for felting!

Felted wool is solid, durable, and warm. It holds a firm shape, so it’s great for things like bags, structural hats, booties, ornaments, seat pads, and household items. Brown Sheep Company’s yarns, by and large, are perfect for felting because they’re composed of natural wool and wool blends (usually mohair, which also felts beautifully!). And we love felted wool projects! We have lots of resources for knitters and crocheters interested in felting wool, from links to free felted projects to felting tutorials to our top tips for felting wool:

Fabulous Felted Hat

It takes just two skeins of Lamb’s Pride Worsted held doubled (or a single skein of Lamb’s Pride Bulky) to knit the Fabulous Felted Hat. This free pattern is a great place to start your felting journey. The felting is done in the washing machine, and you can shape the hat brim to suit your style.

Lucy Claire Bag

We met Janice Brewer at h+h americas 2026 when she was wearing her gorgeous Lucy Claire Bag, knit with Harborside Aran. There is so much to love about this bag! The details are so thoughtful, from the knit and felted strap that feeds through leather closures to the expert shaping and useful back pocket. It’s truly a work of art—the kind of felted wool project people will ask about, and want to know where they can get it for themselves.

Tova Slippers

There’s nothing cozier than a pair of felted wool slippers! The Tova Slippers call for worsted weight yarn, so they’d be perfect in Lamb’s Pride. You only need a single skein to make them! If you have Lamb’s Pride scraps, use them to make a striped or scrappy version. The pattern is free on Ravelry.

Picasso’s Peace Dove

We love felted wool ornaments! They’re great for yarn scraps and also offer an easy entry into crafting felted wool projects. Picasso’s Peace Dove calls for a DK weight yarn, so opt for something like Prairie Spun DK, although Lamb’s Pride and Nature Spun could also work as well, depending on the size you’d like to make. Remember: felted wool shrinks, so what might look large in the knitting will look much smaller in the felting. Don’t forget to check out our previous roundups of felted projects for even more felted wool ornaments.

Patchwork Sitting Pad

The Patchwork Sitting Pad is a fun, free felted wool project that calls for bulky weight yarn scraps—think Lamb’s Pride Bulky, Harborside Aran, Lanaloft, Shepherd’s Shades, or Nature Spun Chunky. The beauty of this project is you don’t really have to be super precise about yarn weight. The pad is worked square by square in garter stitch, then the square strips are seamed together. You can make as many or as few squares as you like, depending on the size of seat pad you need. We love this as a hot pad for the table as well—it’s so simple, but attractive.

Poinsettia Wreath

The Poinsettia Wreath is composed of single felted flowers, layered together to create a beautiful holiday wreath. Knit it in a worsted weight yarn like Lamb’s Pride, Nature Spun, or Lanaloft. We love the idea of choosing several shades of red to create an even more dimensional holiday wreath.

Felted Bell Ornaments

The Felted Bell Ornaments call for a sportweight yarn like Nature Spun, Lanaloft, or Top of the Lamb, or a DK weight yarn like Prairie Spun DK. This is another flexible felted wool project that would be perfect for any Brown Sheep yarn scraps you have in your stash. The bells are simple, elegant, and so beautiful for the holidays.

Blessing Pouch

The Blessing Pouch is simple, but a lovely showcase for felted wool. The pattern is available for free on Ravelry, and calls for a fingering weight yarn like Nature Spun Fingering. This would be a great bag for holding all of your crafting tools—and a fantastic opportunity to highlight a big, beautiful button from your stash.
