Well, I spent most of monday optimistically carding a whole ryland fleece. I tried to felt it today and was very fed up. Although lovely and soft I don't think Ryland is a wool for felting. It barely hung together. It is probably lovely to spin and knit which is, after all, what was said in the reference refered to beforehand.
Oh, Joan...what a disappointment...
ReplyDeleteand a whole LOT of work. Sighhh. (Thanks for sharing, though, so it doesn't happen to anyone else!)
