I Felt A Need

Felting is addicting.

It is so much fun to make a huge giant project

throw it in the wash for 15 minutes

and watch it shrink before your very eyes

to a normal sized object.

I've been on a stash-busting mission.

Why?

Because I couldn't shut the doors on 

my yarn storage cupboard anymore.

It was a wee bit embarrassing.

Here are the results of the felting madness . . .

for now.

 A little iPod wristlet for Princess #2.

It is made out of  some left-over Tilli Tomas Flurries which

is a wool yarn with glass beads woven in it.

Her gadget fits just right and has just

enough bling to make my girl happy.

I closed it with a snap and she found a

rhinestone button from the button box to put on top.

 A Rainbow Waves bag made out of left-over

Elann Peruvian Wool and some Brown Sheep Wool.

I've never felted with either of these yarns before, but

I definitely will again.

I love the end result!!

Another Rainbow Waves bag, this one

done in Noro Kureyon Wool and Cascade 220.

Love it!

Noro is such an interesting yarn to work with, not only 

because of the beautiful color changes, but it's texture too.

It is rough to the touch and as you knit you may come across

some organic stuff-like bits of dried grass (?).

But once it is felted it is so soft and fuzzy.

Interesting stuff.
