Matsuba
Matsuba Felt means Pine-needles Felt in Japanese. The pine-needles spread on snow inspired Leiko many years ago during a long quiet winter in her own homeland, Hokkaido, the north island of Japan. Pine-needles Felt is very fine lacy felt and the texture changes with the way you prepare the wool, how you lay them and with different types of wool. dutch flyer online https://www.smore.com/4w36

Who is Leiko Uchiyama?
Leiko Uchi was born in Japan. It's been almost 20 years since she has discovered felt making. She was an agricultural student and verged into textile. Feltmaking brought her discoveries about herself and created the path she has been passing through. She developped the pine-needle felt the past few years. Felt gives her great opportunities to meet people, to travel and to live at different places. She is now living in Ireland.
