Your rug is beautiful!! Great video, thank you for including all the steps of the process along with the successes and the ‘mistakes (from which we always learn the most).

I thought I would go back, and start at the beginning. That was a lot of effort & work!!! You could always devise a symbol or sigil that would overlay the loose bits. Then you could use a contesting yarn & really go to town; securing & creating art. I'm totally impressed.

Lovely rug I want to order wool too to craft a rug or a warm cosy blanket. I’m thinking to wash the wool first then card it and then felt it let’s hope that will work

That sounds like a good plan, hope it works out for you!

it really is beautiful. thank you. I have tried to do it but have such a problem getting all the VM out of the wool as a rug?
@DiaryofaDitchWitch
@DiaryofaDitchWitch 2 года назад
No point trying to get 100% of it out, even if you're carding it there's bound to be some left in. Just try your best to get out large lumps and anything mucky. It's a long process but doable, and almost therapeutic when you get into a rhythm!

Well done, Ditch Witch. I had to laugh however because as a shepherdess/witch, I found your plastic gloves for dealing with raw fleeces funny. I won't scare you with any stories. I was silly enough to try this at a Fair where I was the guest Fiber artst "why not embarrass yourself in front of strangers" I asked myself. I had a troop of people helping me. My rug kept getting bigger and bigger.I needed a frame, I think. People had a blast helping me, and the idea is to get more people doing this type of things. My thoughts- Rolling up a big project might work better on a wider roller. What do you think? I make a lot of felt, but I never felted raw, or a large piece. I used half of Jacob's fleece. I was thinking this would be a neat way to make a furry hat. I live in a snowy place in the North-East of New England. You were a joy to watch.

I was as green as the grass Kristen 😂🤣 It was a lot more moist than the nice cured stuff I'd been used to picking out of ditches 😬 Cheers for watching! 😍

What pre felt did you use ?
@DiaryofaDitchWitch
@DiaryofaDitchWitch 3 года назад
Agh I have absolutely no idea now! I've just tried searching my email for a receipt but I'm coming up with nothing. I know it definitely wasn't half-felt anyway, I couldn't find that anywhere! I have merino in my head but I feel like that would have cost a lot more than I'd realistically have been prepared to spend 🤔
