En mi "stash" hay un poco de todo y, como ya sabéis, este año estoy muy concienciada en usar lo que tengo así que he pensado una idea DIY para utilizar unos ovillos de DROPS Eskimo que tenía sin utilizar.
La particularidad de este tipo de hilo es que, como es 100% lana, es ideal para fieltrar por lo que me ha parecido la oportunidad perfecta para poner en práctica esta técnica haciendo un salvamanteles de fieltro con estampado Vichy.
Aunque puede parecer algo un poco complicado, os aseguro que no tiene ninguna dificultad más allá de ser capaz de tejer del derecho del revés y de saber utilizar una lavadora...
De hecho, me parece que el fieltrado tiene muchas posibilidades creativas así que seguramente no será la última vez que experimente con ello.
Os dejo toda la información del DIY debajo de las fotos, espero que os guste.
In my stash theres a little bit of everything and, as you already know, this year I am very aware of using what I already have so I have thought a DIY idea to use some DROPS Eskimo skeins I had unused.
The particularity of this kind of yarn is that, as it is 100% wool, it is ideal for felting so I thought this was the perfect occasion to put this technique into practice making a felted Gingham potholder.
Although it may seem a little bit complicated, I assure you that it not trickier than being able to knit and purl and than knowing how to use a washing machine...
In fact, I think that felting has many creative possibilities so surely this wont be the last time I experience with it.
You cand find all the DIY information underneath the pictures, I hope you like it.
