I recently spent the weekend at a felting workshop with Fiona Wright.
We used hand-dyed wool tops in a rainbow of colours to layer on top of cotton voille and added silks and other bits and pieces on top. Add a protective synthetic fabric on top, lots of hot water and diswashing soap and roll the lot up into a matchstick blind. Roll until your arms are tired, adding more hot water as you go and rotate the pieces every 100 rolls or so.
When I unrolled each felted piece, I was amazed at how each turned out -- totally different than I had imagined. Here are some more pieces I made that weekend.

Great pics Maggie!! Love the blue one second from the bottom.
Hey Maggie, fun pieces. Love the plaid one. Good to see you taking the plunge into blogging...
This looks like fun, Maggie. Is that ric-rac in the top photo? You really can't throw any snippet out now,you could use all sorts of things with this technique.
