These are the wool batts used for wet felting, they are very fine wool fibers that have not been made into yarn yet. When you lay the wool, you pull very fine tufts away from the wool batts and lay them in a cross hatch pattern before wetting and rubbing. The second image is a bit of welt felting in the process. As you can see there is lots of soap suds, and the piece of felt is wet and being agitated with a scrucnched up plastic shopping bag. I am doing the felt on bubble wrap bith the bumps facing up, as this futher agitates the felt.
