Winding small, dense balls of acrylic yarn...
...and covering them with layers of wool roving...
...and bright embellishments!
(A couple of jabs with a felting needle help to hold everything in place.)
Carefully inserting the ball into the toe of a nylon stocking...
...and tying it closed with a piece of yarn.
Preparing a second ball...
...with hand-dyed roving.
After popping them into the washing machine with a load of clothes...
...I cut them free from their 'casings'. :)
Because I'm not happy with the quality of the finished felt at first...
...I wet-felt them again in the 'usual' manner.
Next time: more balls!! ;)
