A few months back, thanks to this board, I ordered some Wool of the Andes from Knit Picks. I wanted to make something that would felt, and I decided on a couple of simple items: an eyeglass case and a cell phone tote. The colors I used are Maple Syrup and Snickerdoodle (yes, I do have a sweet tooth;) ).
They both turned out so much nicer than I expected. (Actually, I was expecting a disaster!) You can see my before and after photos if you click on the blinkie. Thanks for looking!
Looks great!! I did my 1st felting project with knitpicks’ wool of the andes, too!! I do love, love, love knitpicks yarn!! I’m thankful to have found them bc now I can afford to buy nice, wool yarn!!
You should check this out http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/yarn_display.aspx?itemid=5420101 Only 2.99 for 100 gram hank. I got some and its really great. The only problem is its so soft I really hate to use it for felting! I have had some success on ebay finding wool for a good price if you are willing to buy a pound or more. I got 8 pounds of red for about $20 form an ebay seller
