felting

Filed under: talk

I meant to take a before picture but forgot. sigh Anyway, I’ve been knitting a purse/bag for myself and today is felting day. Felting is a knitted project that is washed in very hot water turning it into a form of fabric/textile.
The knitting is done on large needles and knitted in an oversized manner. During the felting process, the stitches are meshed together and disappear, creating a single piece.
I’ll post a picture when it’s done.
