Thing to do…
I do have to say, untangling yarn is not such a terrible thing to do. It can be relaxing, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle. Well that didn’t take long. From tangle to ball about 40 minutes. The good thing about wool yarn is it’s sticky (barbed) the bad thing about wool is it sticky Read more

Orb being a challenge
This one almost didn’t make it. The felting was clumsy and did not felt as deeply as it usually does not even after a second try. I decided to crochet navy blue thread and variegated thread to see if that could tie it together. It helped tremendously so am moving onto the addition of beading. Read more
