Felting a small portion of raw fleece...
...with the addition of brown wool roving...
...and a layer of heliotrope gauze (for structural support).
Adding my initials to the backside of the rug...
...with a length of narrow green roving.
A close-up of the nubby texture and warm color...
...of the fully felted (and now clean) fleece.
The fully felted rug...
...is my cat's favorite new place to nap!
While I was in Boulder recently...
...Cathy asked me to show her how to felt raw fleeces from her lovely sheep.
Because we were running out of time (and days for it to dry)...
...I made a very small sample rug as a demonstration.
(Once home, it quickly found a useful purpose!) ;)
