Shibori felting

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

I might knock some quick scarves out on my new knitting machine when it arrives and have a go. Better buy some marbles Very Happy

shibori felting.

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.

Lovely Jenny, I like the idea of the book cover. Very Happy
