Unconsciously mirrored in wool this week-
Funny how that works out 😉
Also did a little bit of felting, and wanted to share that I’ve identified yet another re-use for feed bags. They make great storage for wool in the pre-felting stage. For a lightweight felt sheet I lay down four very fine layers of carded wool in opposing directions on top of one section the opened bag, then fold over the remaining material and roll it into a tube.
Then I slip a rubber band around the roll, and my wool stays organized and easy to store until I’m ready to get out my high tech felting setup (yoga mat, bubble wrap, chiffon fabric, PVC, shoelace) and do the hot water and rolling routine. I find that it’s much more manageable in stages.
Something so satisfying about farm fresh felt 🙂
Your garden looks great, as always. Your farm fresh felt does too!
thanks Donna- been kind of a tough garden year so far. Here’s hoping the peps and melons can catch up!
