Seven Little Swatches and How They Shrunk Swatch One

It doesn't often work out this way, 

but I went to Goodwill

last week and found

wool yarn for far less

than I would have had

to pay from most other sources.

This beautiful, untouched, hand - dyed
wool was marked $2.99 per skein.

This is how my knitted swatch looked
after my first attempt to full/felt it
in our washer.
There is definitely some
 shrinkage and adhesion,
but it didn't get very small and thick.

Back into the washer today.
The results are more noticeable.
Really small swatches are
not as dramatic to full.
I didn't want to use
much of this yarn
for sampling.
