So when went to Lincraft to buy some wool to felt in the washing machine, I had a bit of a brain lapse and bought wool that was 50% wool and 50% acrylic. Did it felt in the washing machine? No, of course not, silly me! I was determined not to waste my $15 of wool, so I tried it in the washing machine again, this time with some 100% wool mohair, I had some success with this felting onto the acrylic/wool blend. I ended up with this tangle of semi felted strands, so I thought why not make this into a scarf. I threaded a few fake flower petals, sounds a bit weird, looks effective. I cast onto one end of my semi felted mess and will knit this end of the scarf and then cast off, then I will cast on to the other end of the strands and knit the other end of the scarf. I am knitting the scarf with 100% cream mohair, double strands. So scarf is a work in process to be an accessory as part of my final range.
