[Nfb-krafters-korner] wool yarn for felting project

Tue Feb 21 02:36:17 UTC 2012

You don't have to get a solid color just get 2 that compliment each  other. 
 We are going to do a patch work design and that is why you need 2  
different colors or design.  You need to get 100% wool for felting.  I  had hope to 
do the discussion tonight so you would have some other choices to  think 
about.  Sorry I was not feeling up to it.

I will be sure everyone has time to complete things before we start the  
felting part of it.

So if I  understand felting, we have to get a solid color from these choices
because  felting requires 100% wool, right?

Hi all,

Joyce has that felting chat  coming up followed by a class to make a bagg, 
if
I'm not mistaken.  so  I was browsing around for yarn for the project. I
found lots of yarn, most  of which I could not determine what the colors
were. So as usual, I turned  to Lionbrand and found a good yarn for felting
and wil shop around to get a  good price forit.

Here are the colors available and their  descriptions just in case you want
to purchase some as  well.
