This tool was created as a personal tool by Marie Spaulding for the purpose creating patterns for wet felting and nuno felting. This is a first draft of a living document, modifications are expected. **In order to use this, you must be familiar with Excel. We are open to design/functionality suggestions, but we cannot offer tech support to those who are not proficient in Excel.
Throughout the examples and worksheets, the data you enter is in ORANGE. You will need to know the desired measurements of your finished project, and an estimate for the shrinkage rate. The shrinkage rate estimate can come from your own tests using the same fiber, layout and felting process -- or be a "best guess" based on your experience with those fibers.
We have included a section on each page to enter measurements from your finished project and show the shrinkage rate for each point of measure. Thes are often not the same and may vary due to fibers, fabrics, embellishments, direction fiber was laid out and fulling methods.**This document is Copyright 2017 Marie Spaulding
