I have found something new to do.  Yes, it may not be new to some of you, but it is for me.  It is felting.  Okay, for those who don't know what this, I'll explain.

Felting is the process of taking loose wool fibers and rubbing them until they mat together into a permanent fabric.   The transformation from loose fibers to felt results because each wool fiber is covered with tiny scaales that relax, opening away fromthe fiber when warm and then pull tightly together when cooled.  Even though felted fabric is actually called "fulled" the effect is new and fuzzy look.  The process has the potential to create new textures in crochet.  You can either felt by hand or washing machine depending on the size of the project.  Taken from Jane Davis' book "Felted Crochet."  I'm using this book from the library. 

You can purchase a copy at Amazon.

Once I purchase my yarn, which has to be yarn that is not labeld "machine washable," I will select one of the easier projects to start.  Maybe the small project bag p.30 or the toy ball p.108.  I'll post my progress once I get started along w/a picture of the selected project from the book.

Have any of you done this yet?  If so, I would appreciate any suggests or tips you might have and to see pics of your work.

Talk w/you all later.
