Today was felting day. I love throwing my woolen projects into a soapy hot water bath and rejoice as they shrink and mat. It started off well enough. I finished the new swatches that I had made for testing out my new washing machine. I took the before photographs to add to the wiki article. Then I went in search of the zippered pillowcase I use for felting. Except it was nowhere to be found.
Even though we just moved, I know I had it when we moved in. Several weeks before I unsuccessfully attempted to felt in a Laundromat (Bad idea) and I used it then. I’m not sure how it got lost between then and now. Ah the joys of moving.
So off to Target I went to buy a replacement. That done, I returned home and proceeded to felt my swatches. This was the first time I felted Cascade 220 and I am thrilled that they came out gorgeous. I have to let the swatches dry and then I can begin needle felting them. I’ve never needle felted before so I look forward to experimenting with it. It looks like tomorrow will be a felting day too.
