A newly popular craft, needle felting has Toronto designer Susan Filshie hooked, so when her cousins held their pre-Christmas get-together last year, she took along a huge bag of unspun wool fleece and some felting needles. "Before I knew it," she says, "everyone who wasn't in the kitchen was gathered around the felting table."
