It was suggested to me to try a Wonder Washer for my felting process. Perhaps other fiber artists have already discovered this but it is new to me and I am pretty excited about it. A Wonder Washer is a small portable washing machine. When I knit a bowl or pouch, I then have to wet felt it. Which is like shrinking your favorite sweater. I usually use my full-size washing machine, but it uses a lot of water and is harder to control the outcome. So I gave the Wonder Washer a try over the weekend. I am really happy with it but will need a little practice.
The first thing I had ready to felt was one of my pouches.
I can tell you without a doubt that the washer did an excellent job at felting but it is supposed to look more like THIS...
Not THIS.... (Laughing at myself here)
I left it in a little too long! No matter. I found a home for it as something else and will definitely try again.
