Winter has me wanting to nest...to pull out all of the blankets and snuggle in for the cold weather. And yes, it is COLD here in Wisconsin. With temps dropping into the teens at night (not including the wind chill), we need as many cozy blankets as we can get.
So, I'm making a nice wool and flannel blanket. And the best part is that it's made of sweaters and shirts and pajama pants that I cleared from our closet and drawers this week. YEAH!
Here's the pre-washed pile of sweaters before the felting began:
After a run through the washer (a hot water wash and a cold water rinse) and then a cycle through the dryer, they shrunk down nice and tight and thick. Now they're ready to be cut into squares. I'm so excited!
