| It sounded so simple, I got inspired to try it,again. |
 |
| I wove a swatch on a small piece of cardboard. |
 |
| I put a pot on the stove, turned on the burner and put my swatch in. OOPS! I forgot to boil the water, first. |
 |
| OK, water boiling. Lots of foaming. This looks promising! |
 |
| Hmm. It sure didn't shrink much! |
 |
| Another type of yarn to try. This one is labeled 100% wool. |
 |
| Off my improvised loom. |
 |
| Boiling away. |
 |
| What? No shrinkage? |
 |
| Not that I can see. |
 |
| One more, today. |
 |
| Just off the loom. |
 |
| Boil! Boil! Boil! |
 |
| Oh, my goodness! Doesn't this work, at all? |
 |
| Well, how about rubbing it in my hands? Look at that! |
 |
| Oh, my! This is actually the third one. |
 |
| Much better! :) |
Persistence pays off!:) christina
ReplyDeleteI read a method that suggested boiling the wool for five minutes or more. I must have boiled the first swatch for twenty minutes! It didn't "felt" until I rubbed it, too. I have had better results with an automatic washer, Christine. :)
DeleteLol that's funny!
ReplyDelete:) I thought so. Sorry I goofed on your name. Christina.
