Yeah. As a medium, yarn is probably the most frustrating I've ever worked with, so kudos to both our wives for putting up with it. I totally never intended to use wool, knowing it would pull a stunt like this, bit fortunately, for my next phase, I have yarn with the wrappers still and they're all acrylic. It's funny, cause this whole thing is more about doing than results, but I still care a little about the results.

That said, I'm kind of intrigued by the wool fusing to everything and what it might do for repair work, so I'm gonna keep that property running in the back of my head and see if I can't come up with some ideas and experiments.

I told myself, when I first started sewing, I wouldn't do felt projects. Why you gotta make me second guess myself bro?

Just expanding your textile horizons

Thanks. I genuinely appreciate it actually, cause if I'm honest, all the stuff I ever did with felt was back in kindergarten and such, so I honestly haven't taken it seriously. I probably should though.

buying felt is a different animal than making felt.
