We encouraged her to abandon that skein for the scarf project; there was even talk of dumping it in the "round file." Suddenly it occurred to me that it might be salvageable as yarn to add to a needle-felting project. Jane immediately donated it to me. Well, I think I may have found the right job for this yarn : needle-felted pine branches on a felted mat. Turns out that this worked well.
So, here's a picture of the results. The pine cones do not show up well. In fact, they look a little funny here, but not so much in real life. I may continue to tweak it a bit. Various angles make it look different. Thanks to Jane, the project I wanted to try came together with the right materials. I owe her one!

Beautiful! Glad you were able to salvage the yarn and make it into something wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI voted for tossing the yarn in the round file, so I'm happy the yarn redeemed itself with this felted project.
ReplyDeleteHey, it turned out great. I think it is my favorite so far.
