Considering what materials I use is fundamental in my work. I use natural materials that don't negatively affect the planet
I use wool because it is:
100% Natural
100 % Biodegradable
100% Renewable

Wool laid out ready to be wet felted
At university, I experimented a lot with naturally dyeing wool and incorporating it into my felting. Since launching ida design, I have found it better to outsource the naturally dyed wool. This allows more time to work on my designs. After lots of research, I found other small businesses that I can support by sourcing my naturally dyed wool from them.

Naturally dyed wools sourced from small bussinesses
I try to source as many of my sewing materials from my local independent fabric shop.
