Mid-way through felting...
...colored fibers are starting to come through the white wool.
The hat interior.
Blocking the hat for drying...
...using lots and lots of clips!
The finished hat...
...has a rolled brim...
...and an asymmetrical top.
The felted-in yarn remnants...
...now resemble birds, or Chinese dragons...
...and I think they look quite painterly.
Color blending is on view here, as well...
...with the pleated top a pale orange shade...
...and the front, the darker wool color.
The interior of the hat.
(The turned up edge was hand hemmed after this photo was taken.)
...along with two of its 'sisters'! :)
