A twist of merino top. In orange, of course *laughs* Of course it looks bright red in this picture, but it is actually a darkish orange.
I wanted to try some sort of felting and have seen some great tutorials for felted balls, so when the shop we were in had some available I grabbed the colour I liked best and bought it immediately.
I haven't actually tried it yet (which is a shame, as it would make this post far more interesting!) but I can't wait. I only have one colour at the moment, but if they come out as well as the image below then I might make them in a variety of colours. Either as decor or to thread onto a necklace... Who knows ;)
Then there's the felted soap idea I've seen on other blogs too... Because I need more hobbies *laughs*
I've been keen to try some felting at some point. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Have you seen that amazing felted ball rug all over the internet?
ReplyDeleteOh, felted soap is really fun to make. I've only done it once (in a class) and still have the bar. :-)
ReplyDeleteWish you luck with the felting. I'm not much of a felter. I don't want to blame the wool I used, but who knows. Maybe I shoul try again.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!

oooh, felting is addictive and there is so much you can do. How I wish you could take a class or have a play date with other felters.
ReplyDeleteI got a book on felting a while back but haven't ventured into it yet. Love the colour of your felt - hope you have fun with it :)
ReplyDeleteOh! Those balls would look pretty strung together as garland or bunting.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how it turns out - felting is so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you come up with. I've never tried it, but would like to, when another hour gets put into the day!
ReplyDeleteThat colour will be wonderful. I did my first bit of felting this year - turned an old pure wool jumper into a knitting bag. Surprised and pleased with the result. Hope you have lots of fun.
