Felted Woolies are things made from reclaimed, recycled wool. I find wool at thrift stores and garage sales. I clean it, felt it or unravel it, and make new things. I seem to have a bit of trouble focusing on just one project--so I make a lot of different things, practical and not so practical.

Something New. Wool Longies.
I'm not showing the inside. It isn't pretty. But for my second and third attempts, pretty good.
I may be giving up on baby shoes. Too little and detailed for me. I like my rug because it is, by definition, rustic.
So far the rug is all wool. Or at least I think it is. I've used a few pieces that didn't have tags telling the content. I used the burn test. Samples from the unknown fabrics burned and smelled like wool. That is, they didn't burn very well and they smell terrible when I tried to burn them. As of today I have 9 more rounds since the last posted photo. It is now as big as my dining room table. Look for more photos soon!
I love the longies... very cute! I love your rug, and am very envious of it. Did you use just wool for it? I may have to give it a whirl!
