At least you have been able to salvage some of your work into a useful item. I'm afraid I would have just chucked it. It will be interesting to see if the new ball of Murano knits sideways too.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18203034266623357526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-55512147649646904962013-10-19T04:31:17.004+10:302013-10-19T04:31:17.004+10:30LOL.

But I believe a blog should have some drama -- it can't be one success after another, after all!<br /><br />I think there is always at risk if you combine yarns and expect they will felt in the same way, even if they are all intended for felting. Live and learn! At least you were able to salvage some of it.<br /><br />I'm sure the next one will be excellent! :DMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-89802063008546443482013-10-18T16:52:14.215+10:302013-10-18T16:52:14.215+10:30Thanks Margaret.

In the past I have unintentionally felted some "machine-washable" jumpers! Should have trusted the label in this case!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-17178198790279143692013-10-18T16:08:38.736+10:302013-10-18T16:08:38.736+10:30how annoying that must have been.

I tried a few years ago felting some of my late husbands pullovers but that did not work although they were wool, have since found out that if it is machine washable wool it does not felt, though this might help but I expect you all ready know thatmargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.com
