Pool felt

We had a wonderful volunteer at the farm who was up for all my crazy ideas.

It was a very hot day, and we were both eyeing the alpaca pools with envy. Suddenly it came to me, lets dump 2 bags of scrap fibre into one of the pools, add the soap and squish around in it barefoot. Surely we can make a big felt this way.

In we get to slip and slide around with the alpacas looking on curiously. After a while it became apparent that this method will make a lot of small felts but not one large felt. Probabaly we should have used carded fibre.

A fun learning experience and we did get to cool off.
