A woman demonstrates wool painting, also known as needle felting, wool felting, or fiber art painting, during the Bala Cranberry Festival in Bala, Ontario, Canada, on October 17, 2026. The Bala Cranberry Festival is one of Ontario's most iconic and longest-running autumn traditions. The festival transforms the small town of Bala into a massive, vibrant celebration of all things cranberry, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year during the peak of the fall foliage season. Wool painting is the artistic process of using unspun, dyed sheep's wool as a medium to create two-dimensional images that look exactly like watercolor or oil paintings. Instead of applying wet paint with a brush onto a canvas, the artist layers strands of colored wool onto a fabric backing, using a specialized needle to lock the fibers into place.
