I just removed my first attempt at felting from the washer. (I tried hand-felting last night, but wasn't having as much of an affect as I wanted.) It's nicely thick and fuzzy, though slightly more shrunken than I'd wanted, but unfortunately my pretty variegated Manos now looks like a dog's breakfast. Post dog.
With luck the colors will look better when it dries.

Posted by: megan at April 5, 2005 02:51 PMOh no! That happened to me once too. I bought Noro Big Kureyon to make a purse and when it came out of the washer, it was just a jumbled grey brown mess! I chalked it up to experience, but i never wear it... Anyhoo, I saw this and I thought of you: http://www.knitknack.com/needles/dichroic.htm
Hope to see you soon :)
