Since 2007 we've been the only retail store that caters specifically to feltmakers. The staff at NEFS is trained to explain details about the feltmaking process and to help customers choose the exact wool or blend for their project. NEFS has a thriving Local Wools Program where a number of wools from family farms are available for purchase year-round to help support the local economy. But perhaps the best known product lines include it's premier C-1 wool (a top grade classification from Norway) which many felters agree is the best needle-felting wool available and the Short Fiber Merino Batts, which are only found at NEFS. The Short Fiber batts are a special preparation of cut merino combed out into batts (blankets) which makes the wool felt extremely fast and results in a much finer, tighter finish than merino top. NEFS was also the first importer of merino prefelt in the United States and carries several different colors and weights of this popular material. There is an year-round educational program too. Christine considers this to be a cornerstone of New England Felting Supply since it arose from a teaching studio. Instructors range in skill from beginning teachers who are encouraged to develop their skills during drop-in classes to the very best week-long workshops with international teachers from Canada, Finland, Turkey, England, Holland, Australia and more. Instruction in many felting techniques can be found on our class schedule.
