What you're doing is "wet felting"I like to needle felt, and wet felting is another way to felt wool into a shape. It works best with even and increasing pressure. The hotter the water, the better. And you can give it an ice bath to shock the wool and help it keep the shape. Craft stores sell pre-felted wool balls with the needle felting items for crafts for......well, a pretty decent chunk of money. If you get a nice, clean finish on some, and then allow them to dry for a minimum of two days, you COULD sell them to other crafters, or use a large bore needle to make them into "beads" You should be able to find felting needles at a craft store, or at least online if you live in a less populated area (I can find them at my craft stores, though it can be challenging, bu...

You can use this to help "clean up" and solidify the shape- just make sure it's dry first! If you get the needles wet, they can rust, and then they don't work so well...Clever way to get the kids clean and craft at the same time!
