My Noe Noa scarf by Bente is done:



I used a heavier yarn (Mandarin classic) than the pattern calls for (Mandarin petit) and had to adjust the pattern a bit.

Felted Wool Balls

My felted wool balls from my last post made it to the Craftzine blog, and I've had a lot (!) of people passing by my blog. Lots of fun! Thanks to The Lazy Milliner for making that happen.

I do needle felt the balls before washing, and I use a small net washbag the first time. And I also needle felt a little bit between washing.

TGIF

What do you do with your bits and pieces of wool-yarn?

I save everything...

... and then I make colorfull balls for the kids to play with:



I needle felt them a little bit, before I throw them in the machine two or three times.




Have a nice weekend!!


Ravel it!
