Once the resist is removed...
...the hat is turned right-side out...
...and the felting continues.
'Making a point'. ')
As the hat shrinks...
...it's regularly checked against a hat form for size.
The finished hat has a lovely, pebbly surface...
...and the yarn has virtually 'melted' into the wool.
The felting process...
...bends the strands of yarn into interesting designs.

A great success, indeed, and I see what you mean about the yarn melting into the felt!
Rachel--It's so satisfying to see it do that...and I love how the yarn gets distorted from the wool fibers pulling back and forth during felting. :)
