Like my new red hat?

Look what I made!

A lovely red hat.

I used a double strand of worsted weight, red wool yarn.

I also felted it in my front loading washer. I put the washer on hot water and let it run through a wash and spin cycle. When it got to the spin cycle, I looked at the hat and it wasn't ready. I put it back into a second hot water wash cycle and it felted right up. The only problem is that it felted too small for me but it will probably fit someone else.

Anyway, I like it. I will decorate it with some purple feathery stuff and give it away as a present sometime.
