Before & After

Before Felting

After Felting. And I mean felting, I felt the heck out of items, I do not like to see any stitches at all.

I find the easiest way to dry felted mittens is with old wire hangers(plastic coated) and tongue depressors. Pull out bottom of hanger to form a rounded edge, place up in the mitten, add depressor to the thumb. Stand in vase with oscillating fan until dry.
