Circular Weaving-To-Felted Purse- Part 1

Using a circle cut from a cardboard box...


                                             ...and wool yarn from my stash...



                                             ...I tried something new, recently...



                                                         ...circular weaving!



                                  The finished piece has a rather retro air about it...



                                               ...like something from the 70's! 



                         While I was thinking about what to make with this woven disk...

                                         ...I warped another piece of cardboard...



                                               ...and began a second one!



                                     Using up short lengths of special handspun...

                                                     ...was very satisfying...



                              ...and I enjoyed observing how the circles were formed...



                             ...from the mere 'over and under' of my tapestry needle!


  
                           Next time: I begin to fashion these pieces into (what else?)...

                                                           ...a felted purse!
