French knitted, stuffed with natural roving, machine felted and then needle felted. What an effort!
*hearts* for the Old Bus Depot Markets July 15, 2008
…because they had their fibre festival on Sunday. That’s fibre as in wool and fabric and stuff, and NOT what you were probably thinking 
I bought up BIG on spun and un-spun wool, and now have more wool than I really know what to do with.
…in other news, I have currently in my washing machine a really fugly 80’s style woolen jumper, in pieces that should felt up into a funky bag. Plus an experiment into felted jewellery…will keep you posted, all 2 of you that seem to read this blog
Also I plan to cut out the bits for my upcycled cap. I think I am developing a hat fetish…
Foray into Felting July 10, 2008
Posting for Ez- first example is a needle felting FAIL…looks like something my cat barfed up. I suspect this has more to do with the wool that I used and not my total lack of needle felting talent.
Next is a machine felting WIN- same type of wool but I chucked it in the washing machine and let the machine do all the hard work.
I am also going to start an upcycled newsboy cap today, made from an old woolen cardigan that I found at the Salvos and machine felted. I haven’t really done any sewing since I was in year 7, so it may end in fail, we’ll see…
