commenced the felting

ok
so i started to felt the flowers & vase
so far
it look like they GREW
and the i-cord stems
wrapped around each other

this may be a bust
18 minutes the first time
add HOT water
more time in the washer
after 30+ minutes in the washer
they are showing some signs of felting
put MORE water on to heat
started cycle # 3
so it's lookin' like this yarn is a waste
of time & the $$ i spent for it
$5.99 a skein
i bought 12
it does NOT felt
took the flowers out
left the vase in
we'll see if it felts alone
so
i rung it out
spun the washer empty
puttin' it thru the rinse cycle
we will see it this stuff felts
i DID do a test swatch that felted
i used the white
ok
so i will give it ONE more try
spun the washer empty
added a stock pot of boiling water
this makes 5 times thru
this stuff makes more fuzz than Brown Sheep
funny thing
i was jut telling Nancy today
how GREAT the washer felts
