Applying pre-felt embellishments to the resist surface...
....covering them with two thin layers of merino roving...
...and wetting the project out.
After flipping the hat to side two...
...pre-felt embellishments are again added to the resist surface...
...and the wool 'rays' from side one are wrapped up and around the resist.
Side two is then covered with roving.
To make the hat opening tidy looking..
...I fold the wool in at the bottom on each side.
Mid-way through felting...
...colored fibers from the pre-felt additions...
...are beginning to migrate through the white wool.
Removing the resist.
Next time: the finished hat!
