Felting. Could a 1 armed person do it?

Hi
Sorry for bizarre question but looking for a gift for a relative who only has 1 arm. Is very able with the other arm (can knit). Wondered if a felting kit would be do-able?

Thanks

Needle felting? You do need to hold down the item somehow - I wonder if it could be pinned down somehow.

Wet felting I would have thought is entirely doable though.

Needle felting needles are jagged so it would need to be held down with something sturdy but also able to turn in many directions. So not impossible but probably not easy.

Needle felting would be really difficult, you need the ‘holding hand’ to do a lot of turning. How about loom knitting? I think that could be done one handed, and there are tons of patterns and ideas on line.

What about a diamond painting kit? If you go for needle felting a brush mat would make it a little easier

Some of the felting kits use a shaped polystyrene base that you needle felt the wool onto. They might be doable with one arm as there is less shaping and the polystyrene shape can probably be easily fixed to something.

Thanks. I think I will steer away from that idea and check out some of your other ideas.
