"Caps For Sale" Hat- Part 7 of 10

The piece is first rubbed...


                                              ...and rolled in every direction.



                                                   A ridged mat is used next...



                                  ...but the hat is still not the proper shape and size.

                       Clearly, the sizing-up I did on my resist was a bit excessive!



                             (Here's where a sharp pair of scissors can come in handy.)



                                                                    Ahhhh...



                                                      ...much better now! :)



                                                      The felting continues...



                                            ...and the cut edges are 'healed'.



                                                 The fully felted hat, soaking.



                                          Next time: my hat is shaped for drying.
