The big green monster... is ... GASP....

not wool?

nice little swatch before felting




after forever in the washer with 160degF water, dishwashing liquid, on "ultra heavy" cycle





eek. so then I lit it on fire a la Fran




bleep, bleep, bleep (the censors got to my blog), what the bleep? I distinctly remember buying wool and in the skein it looks just like lopi. What is this stuff? I'm guessing now that it's some funky wool-acrylic blend. When I held the flame close it melted and shrunk up. The wool caught fire and ashed but something melted and left a bump. I guess the old dh won't get a felted camera case out of this after all. Hmm. Maybe I'll have to go shopping at the lys this weekend...
