Projet Shibori take 2

Project number two is a very small variation on project 1.

Correcting the mistakes of the first project.

No marbles but plastic beads. No tied threads but elastics.

Some of the beads still fell out. Maybe they were too small. The scarf was knitted with 3 balls of Highland Chunky Peruvian collection from Elann in Grape Heather colour.

After the felting.


6 beads fell off out of 18. Not bad. I didn't really find a pattern to the beads that fell out except that they all fell out from the front. So I'm guessing the wool tied to tight the openings between threads to large. Add agitation and out they fall.

The felting time is just fine. It's blocking now.
