The Tapestry Hat is done:
It came off my modified loom easily, just a bit of ‘persuasion’ to get the circle of plastic out from inside.
Once out I knit a brim:
Then I gave it a good rub under hot soupy water followed with a cold rinse and good squeeze, to get the yarn to felt a little. Even so, I think I should have woven a more densely packed fabric…
Still, the gaps don’t appear unless the hat is stretched, and it’s not stretched when worn, so it looks fine on my head. Still, I’ll keep it in mind if I make another.
Now that my fidgety projects are done, I’ve been whittling away at the WIPs. The scary tea towels are off the loom and being wet finished. The woven squares are slowly being assembled to make a jacket. Though I’m not 100% happy with the look of crochet joins on a garment, so may end up doing it all again.
Um, what flavour of soup did you use to felt it with ? Just in case one works better than another, it would be useful to know 🙂
Hahahaha! That typo is so good, I’m going to keep it
