Fail

Well after checking out SEVERAL thrift/second hand stores I came up empty handed.  I decided to go to a fabric store to purchase 100% wool fabric $$$$$$$$$$  I bought two small swatches to see if they would felt.  The answer is I should have kept looking for sweaters.   One thing that I have to figure out though in the whole felting situation is the heat factor.  The material cannot go through the spin cycle so it is soaking wet when you take it out of the washing machine and VERY hot.  Maybe put it in a colander to drain first?  So now I have my material for my first project.  A fine summer project it will be...  a wool scarf.  Oh geesh I said this would be disasterous!
