The nerve wracking spin drying stage

Next instalment coming right up…

So, I took a smaller piece off the fleece and here it is languishing in the sink

Then I put it in an old pillow case – I swear blind that this case contains fibre and not kittens – honest!

Then it was into the washing machine. Can you see what I have to contend with? What a mess and it’s not all mine. Anyway, I could just about reach. Set the washer to SPIN, not wash as per last time (doh) and waited.

And the moment of truth – are the kittens still alive? No, no, I mean is the fibre felted?

SUCCESS

Right, now we let it dry and then we’ll set about dying it in the morning.

The Aftermath…from field to needle continued

After removing the fleece (and washing the walls down) this is what remained in the bath

Don’t you dare laugh! I had to put my hands in this to keep the plughole clear

So the fleece is now in the sink – yes, that was SINK, not sick! Please try your best not to get too offended by the fashionable bathroom fittings

and this is what’s left in the bath

not too bad, I thought.

OK, next in with the clean water – this the proof

10 seconds later

But what’s that speck in the bottom right?, I hear you cry…are you ready for this?

Now, I suppose it’s time to repeat the process.

Back soon.
