How to felt a large scarf on a small table....


I wanted to make a long nuno felt shawl.  As you can see it extends about 24 inches past the end of my table.  I used a long enough plastic wrap below and went ahead and started laying the wool roving and pre-felt details on the top half....
 Then I wet it down and covered it with half the top plastic.  After rubbing it a bit and making sure it was smooth with no air trapped there, I folded enough of the wet half over, to pull the dry half onto the table.  Now I can lay out the wool and details here.
 I pulled the rest of the plastic over the wet second half and smoothed it out.
 Carefully folding, I flipped the whole thing over and uncovered the first half (other side) to work a bit of merino on the flip side.  Then I covered it again and slid the second half up to do the same there.  All details in place and wet with soapy water.  Just had to roll up and beat it up a bit, and wash it out and dry....
 And tah dah!  A lovely long nuno felt shawl...
