Prompt
A close-up of a felter's hands pressing wet merino wool fleece onto a bamboo rolling mat, the fleece in layered pastel fibres — sage green, dusty rose and cream — soapy water visible between the layers, the hands flat and pressing downward, the wool beginning to mat together at the edges where the hands press, loose dry fibres still fluffy at the centre, warm window light from the left, water droplets on the bamboo, soft focus on the rolled section behind, no text, no letters

How to use this prompt
"Layered pastel fibres — sage green, dusty rose and cream" is the phrase that gives DALL-E the colour-separated layering that is the signature of wet felting — a single colour renders as a flat sheet. "Soapy water visible between the layers" is the material state; wet felting uses hot soapy water, and naming it stops DALL-E from rendering dry fibres. "The wool beginning to mat together at the edges where the hands press, loose dry fibres still fluffy at the centre" is the before-and-after that proves the process is mid- action. "Hands flat and pressing downward" is the correct hand pose; a pinching grip renders as kneading, which is a different craft.
Variations to try
- Roll the mat up with the fleece inside to show the fulling stage
- Switch to needle felting with a barbed needle stabbing a dry core of wool for a sculptural piece
