“Psychedelic”
Well I went a little “Psychedelic” on this piece. No drugs of any kind were used! Just a jumble of yarns.

Faux swift
I wasn’t sure if I was bold enough to show this because of the setting however, I don’t have a swift and am forever rewinding yarns. I thought of this idea of using my office chair to use as a swift. Not a great idea but since I’m felting the wool anyway it doesn’t much… Read more
