New Samples
I’m going to do workshops at Manchester Museum of Science and Industry MakeFest in August, so I wanted to make a couple of felt samples to get an idea of how much wool I need to order for supplies. I made a 10 x 10 inch sample, using pinks, since I didn’t want to waste my nicer colours 🙂 It actually turned out alright!

And some neon green crimped Nylon:
I also made a small sample using some Stone Sheep I bought and carded. I used some of my dyed Soy tops with it:
