Fulling

Fulling -- A finishing process in which the woven or knitted cloth is subjected to moisture, heat and friction causing it to shrink considerably in both directions and become compact and solid. In heavily fulled fabrics both the weave and the yarn are obscured, thus giving the appearance of felt.

A lady at my Thursday Spinners group requested another spinning wheel bag but this time she wanted two handles and flame colours.

I knit and fulled this mitred tote bag for my craft market table.

I don't care for pinks and purples but I had a bag full of it and someone out there will love it.

Very nice designs! I wish I wasn't allergic to wool.... I always like felted items. Nicely done

Pretty! I like the pink/purple.

Not felting or quilting here, but sure do appreciate those who can. I like both bags -- I guess I am partial to purple.

I thought you preferred teal.

I love the reds and yellows but there are purple people out there who will
go for the other one.

There were lots of ladies drooling over it but no one bought it yesterday.

Looks like it takes talent to get all parts to shrink in proportion. WTG!

Not talent. Just a top loading washing machine.

I love felted items, and have yet to do it successfully. One of these days! But first I need to finish this quilt.

I'm going to try to full a pair of slippers for myself. I'm taking bets on how many slippers will end up on my craft market table in every size but mine.
