I've been reading about this a lot lately on various blogs and I really want to have a go. Has anyone here done it? Is it hard?

I'd never heard of this but just did a google! It looks very effective and a good way of recycling old jumpers too. Might give it a go come the winter time and I'll be interested to see how you get on with it. Smile

Hi Girls,
Sorry for the silence Confused time seems to pass far too quick!! I have done some shibori felting using glass beads, also by sewing, pulling up the threads and folding - good fun - made several book covers, scarf and a waistcoat but made a mistake on shrinkage and it fit grandaughters teddy instead of 10 year old Embarassed will upload a couple of pics.

Oooh Jenny - very nice. I'm not feeling 'advanced' enough to tackle the dyeing as well. I think I might just try it on some plain squares on the knitting machine and see what it comes out like.
