Above are the before pictures; pre hand felting the balls and then putting the whole knitted item into a nylon stocking, and into the washing machine for a few cycles. This was handspun 2 ply, doubled up while knitting. Wool is a combo of a Lincoln/ Corrie cross blended with some nice yearling mohair.
Nice to combine a few of your favorite things; in this case my adoraBULL canine companion and knitting, fulling and felting. Too bad I lost this lei ( and his CGC medallion) at a rest stop in Oregon on our way back a few days ago- oh well, It was a prototype for mo betta to come. I will make a harness in the same style next.
