Wet Felted Wool Hat

Posted on January 18, 2014

The latest wet felted wool project was this… a hat!

My son-in-law got a great hat for Christmas, knit, and with well formed ear coverings… so I decided I’d make one for me out of wool.  I copied the pattern and went for it.

I was really down to the tail ends of my wool… except for the roll of turquoise that Victoria found under my couch!

Tune in tomorrow to see how it turned out!

    Carol,
    I look forward to pictures and to stories about the family, the cows, and the dogs, especially Daniel, Tess, Jaxon and Boomer, of course, but I enjoy seeing and hearing about everyone else too.

    I’m wondering if I can do slippers this way, so am watching with interest.
