Felt
Patterns
Felting Tips to Keep in Mind: Only protein fibers from hairy
beasts will felt such as sheep's wool, goat's mohair if mixed with wool, and alpaca. Many bleached
or off-white and light colors do not felt well if at all. Do not use superwash
wools, synthetics, silk, or cellulose (cotton, ramie, rayon, etc.) as these will
not felt (wool blended with silk or cellulose fibers will felt if the blend is
predominantly 80% wool or more). Always try a test
sample using your yarn first. Remember to stop your washing machine during
the felting process to check your size frequently as most of these are felted to
fit!
Warning: Felting can be habit forming!

Reversibly Cabled Afghan:* Knit this thick, warm afghan on large needles in Lily's signature reversible cables. When it's not wrapped snugly around you, leave it tossed over the back of a chair or couch without ever worrying that the so-called wrong side is exposed. You will need approximately 2300 yards of a heavy worsted weight yarn. A wool or other natural fiber is recommended to allow for proper blocking. Use 29" or 31" (80cm) circular knitting needles in sizes 9 (5.5mm) and 11 (8mm) or size to obtain gauge.
