'Love Wins' Table Runner- Part 2

Adding three thin layers...


                                                         ...of merino wool...



                                              ...to the back side of the project.



                                       Flipping the piece back to the design side...

                           ...and checking to see whether any shifting has occurred.



                                                             Felting begins...




                                                          ...with rubbing...



                                                 ...that increases in pressure...



                   ...as the colored fibers begin to migrate through the white wool.



                                         Once the soft felt passes the pinch test... 



                                 ...the piece is fully dried over a length of PVC pipe.



                          Next time: the runner is trimmed, fully felted and completed.
