I recently discovered a wonderful curriculum published by Harrisville Designs called Woolworks! Teaching to the Standards with Fiber Arts: A Curriculum Guide for Teachers of grades 3 - 8.

It's fabulous! I especially love how they tie in the spinning portion of the curriculum with a study of simple machines. Lesson 3 (Felting) is available as a pdf online.
Wonderful for Waldorf homeschoolers.
