Felted wool balls - again :)

Wool balls - again - on request

What do you do with your bits and pieces of wool-yarn?

I save every little pieces of wool yarn and make colorfull balls for the kids to play with:



I needle felt them a little bit, before I throw them in the washing machine. I use a small net washbag the first time i felt them. After felting in the machine I needle felt them a little bit more (if needed) and let them have another cycle in the washing machine.



Please ask if you have any questions.

Felted Wool Balls

My felted wool balls from my last post made it to the Craftzine blog, and I've had a lot (!) of people passing by my blog. Lots of fun! Thanks to The Lazy Milliner for making that happen.

I do needle felt the balls before washing, and I use a small net washbag the first time. And I also needle felt a little bit between washing.
