I knew it was coming, but I just had to get another bag done (and as it ends up, I don't like this one, of course) I am a total "hands-on" felter. I try to rub with plastic bags on my hands. Gloves are completely out of the question (yuck! who would wear gloves to felt?) But I need to, and want to, feel the felt and the wool change under my hands.

Bless.... I was the same last week. Loads of moisturising and massageing to help the healing process and you should be ready to start again.
0w, that looks sore. Have you tried Bag Balm? It's greasy and stinks but seems to work. (It's a farm product for dairy cows udders)
I'm not a big fan of "products", but aveeno makes a great hand cream that works wonders. Thanks!!:o)
I always use a 100% pure olive oil. A little bit greasy, but it helps!
Good luck at the weekend.
Hasta luego.
It seems our hands get the rough treatment no matter what we do. When I work with stained glass the tips of my fingers are split all the time. Just knitting with wool so much dries them real bad. Now that I am beginning to wet felt you show me what I have to look forward to. Sure the hands will have to take rest between stained glass and knit/felting.
Reading through your last posts, you make me laugh. gosh you work hard.
your hands look painfull indeed but they will get better soon if you do make them do too much hard work.
Take good care of yourself Andrea.
