[Nfb-krafters-korner] Felting class

[Cathy]

Hi Joyce,

I found some 100% wool at the knitting warehouse. It is Patons Classic Wool
Yarn. It is worsted weight and comes in  3.5oz balls 210yd.  they have so
many colors, it really is amazing.

I'd like to make the smaller bag, I believe you said four squares? Two balls
of yarn in contrasting colors. So is one ball of each enough for the
project? If I decide to make a larger bag, should I get two balls of each?

The colors are not named mysteriously, at least not most of them. I simply
don't know which two to choose. 
Will this bag be a yarn bag or more like a purse. That will help me know
what colors to get. 

Cathy

I just wanted to say I have promised a felting class, but I did have hopes  
to combine some of these classes planned to be involved in the felting  
class.  It will be the process of felting that I will be teaching and it
will 
be up to the indivisual how they want to create what we will felt.  
 
Let me explain this just a little so you can be thinking about this.   I am 
going to pick out and suggest that each of you make a set of blocks.   Now 
they can be square or rectangle, but they need to be knitted, crocheted,  
Tonesian crocheted, or use your knifty knitter.  They need to be made out
of 
100% wool.  [You don't even have to create them as mentioned][You can  use 
some old, used 100% wool sweaters.  You can even use those knitting  
machines.  
 
OK that is about it for now.  Put your thinking caps on and I suggest  you 
start looking in your stash for wool.  Minimum of 2 colors or as many  as 
you want.  Both of these yarns should be out of the same brand wool  yarn.
Do 
not get wool yarn that can be washed in a machine.  It  should say wash in 
cold water and dry flat or something like that.
