Felted Knitting

I did get around to felting the two knitted samples I made. I felted them the same way I'd usually wet felt, not through the washing machine. The piece I made with the hand blended and handspun yarn doesn't look too much different, but it is duller and fluffier:


It did keep some texture:


This is a close up:


This is how it looked before:


The pencil roving knitted piece was much nicer and easier to felt. It grew quite a bit and flattened out quite a lot:


It was quite chunky before, this is after felting, looking over the surface:


And how it looked before:


It didn't lose all its texture:


And a closer look:


It felted really neatly, but I'm not sure I'll find a use for felted knitted pencil roving :)
