Jurassic Bedroom mat
I had several balls of chunky, loosely woven wool, such as some DROPS Eskimo, Rowan Cocoon, Lopi, and some DK weight wool which I used 3-4 strands of to make a thicker yarn. I worked a basic ammonite shell shape using 10 and 15mm hooks.Placed them facedown in a pleasing arrangement and sewed them together around the edges. Finally felted at 90 degrees in the washing machine with an old towel and some colour catcher. Gave it a good press with an iron and this is the result!
The above is the 'wrong' side- looks better than the right one, though! Mattress or other invisible stitch probably best for sewing shapes together, then it would be completely reversible.
Felting is magic! (When it's intentional....)
