Includes step by step instructions through felting a cat cave, including flowers, grass, flower buds, and advanced blocking. These cat caves are made directly from unspun, carded wool using the wet felting process. There is no yarn or knitting. This project is a large, multi-day project. If you have never done resist felting before and want an introduction on a smaller scale, I would recommend my Felted Bowls tutorial first.
This book has been a 5-star best seller on Etsy. Here are just some of the Reviews:
This is my first purchased tutorial and I already know I am happy with it! This tutorial is beautifully done and very, very thorough. My first early self-attempt at a cat cave was a total flop. (Ended up looking like zombie clothing! Lol) my second one was ok, but too big and not the gift quality that I wanted to give.) Now, with this tutorial, I have exactly what I need to be successful. And, I now know what I did wrong on my own. If you've ever made, or attempted to make, one of these, you know how time-consuming and expensive these can be. It is worth it to me to have these step by step directions to get it right. I should've bought this sooner! Thank you for sharing the work you put into this. - WelshTerrierMom
This is the best pattern! It has so many pictures to guide you. Very descriptive language, too-- easy to read. So far, I have done the flowers and the grass. They are so pretty, I almost think I might just put them in a vase or make a shelf that is just flowers and grass. Or, I might just put some in my car (I drive a VW Beetle with a flower vase by the steering wheel). I'm looking forward to finishing the whole project, but it will take me a while, and I just wanted to review this before I forget. This is the best! Highly recommended pattern. - Shoshanah
very detailed, great descriptions and photos. While I have been needle felting for a while I have done limited wet felting. my sister saw someone's cat cave and asked if I could make one. I told her I'd give it a try. I am pretty pleased with the result from this tutorial. Some great tips and tricks that definitely helped and while my first cave might not have been perfect, it stands up and looks pretty decent! - Whitney Coolidge
The instructions in these tutorials are extremely detailed, with photos to illustrate all of the points. I am completely confident that I will be able to make the items without any problem at all - that's how good the descriptions are! - Shirley
This is a great tutorial. I purchased it when I was in the middle of a cat cave project and my existing instructions left a bit to be desired. My questions were all answered and some great tips. - cECILY BAILEY
Even for someone who had never felted before, was this project do-able due to a lot of pictures and very detailed description. The descriptions are better than the books I read so far. Definitely worth the money! - tinekeernste
The tutorial was available to download immediately after purchasing. I've read through it quickly: The directions are clear, sometimes humorous, and easy to follow. There are pictures to show you what you should be seeing at every step of the process. This is a wonderful tutorial and it is obvious that a lot of time and effort was spent creating it. Great job, and thank you so much! - Brit Ritchey
I can't wait to make this, or rather 2 of these, one for Missy and one for Tommy: ) This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive and clear set of instructions I've ever bought, thank you so much, Ann xx - Ann
Very detailed instructions that were easy to follow. Delighted with the end product, despite this being my first try at wet felting, the cave has turned out just like the one in the photo. - Jane Johnston
