So basically, when the navy yarn felted... it pulled the non-felting yarns in tightly as well...
And left all those loose fly away knots.
I kind of like it.
Well... most of it!
I'm not too sure about this mohawk of eyelash yarn at the top.
It's a bit too QUIRKY for my liking.
Time to get out the hairdressing scissors, I think!
And if you're wondering about the fluorescent tape on the neck of my mannequin...
Well the beanie came out a little small, so I figured I could stretch it over the head.
I might have been a little rough.
Ah well. I can always add some more paper mache.
I am thinking, It would make a very lovely hanging basket for plants,,,
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant technique for creating textured, felted cloth when knitting toys or garments!!!! I can picture areas of man-made fibres incorporated into wool items, either knitted in or simply threaded or knotted in, with or without beads, before felting. If you give a hard tug to the knots on your groovy beanie, are they anchored in tight?
