What do you reckon? An abstract masterpiece?
Or – does it go this way up?
We felted by hand and then, because it was basically in shape but not “solid” if you know what I mean, it went through the washing machine and tumble dryer to see if that would finish it – which made no difference at all! Ho hum.
I think the problem may be that we were using alpaca wool and maybe some of it was – not kinky enough? The hairy bits sticking up are all straight hairs. We have a bunch of sheep fleeces to do next and they are definitely kinky enough! 
– the coloured merino wool felted beautifully, it was just the alpaca that was troublesome.
Possibly the verdict should be – not bad for the first attempt?

Well done, we run a felt-making course where I work, though unfortunately I don’t know much about different wools.
Now you can make a toy yurt!
