Although a felt cover for a Leafcocoon is optional, many people find it a comforting and natural adddition. It can be ordered separately for you to work on at home, either as a long term project, or for an upcoming funeral. Dyed wools and equipment can be ordered below, or you can email me with specific requirements for a bespoke kit. You will need felting pads and needles for extra participants.
Like my other kits, there is intention and purpose in this experience, and the process is compelling, often cathartic, and companionable when shared with others.
The videos guide you through this simple process in a practical way, and within minutes you can be practising on small samples or on the cover itself. Once mastered, your ideas will flow, the colours and blends will delight. You can achieve quite a lot in a short space of time.
Using other materials? the video focuses on needle felting, but this lovely woollen textile is ideal for appliqué and embroidery techniques as well. You can even use coloured (Sharpie) felt tip pens, chalk pastels, graphite and charcoal (non-toxic non-aerosol fixative is recommended for the latter three).

The dyed wool tops:
A superb colour range of wools from our Devon supplier of British wools. The wool tops are measured in approximate 10g portions. Please note, colours can vary and may not always be in stock.
Included in the starter kit
Leaf Shaped cover; The felt is 100% organic British wool, 5mm thick. It does not flop like woven textiles but ‘floats’, similar to leather, softening the curves. Select your preferred colour and size. The covers are irregular shapes but they correspond with the Leafcocoon sizing of small, medium, large and are ample enough to cover the shroud.
