As I bound off the great tube I was not excited. I felt that by sticking to my stash I had compromised the color options. As I hoisted it from the washer I was even less excited. The various stash yarns had all felted differently. But I remembered Kay's post and I kept driving. Now I adore our new rug. I could never have planned the colors this way. It looks like a watercolor to me. It feels wonderful. I am planning another, larger version.

It's gorgeous. Did you have to re-felt parts?
It is just lovely....sometimes things turn out better if unplanned! Just beautiful!!!!
Great job, I think it looks lovely!
I love it.
Thank you for the nice comments. Gale, I did have to felt the ends a little more and I steam ironed parts and tugged a little and then I just cut the edges straight.
It looks GREAT!!!!
Well, THAT sure is beautiful! Really beautiful!
Still catching up . . . the leafcloths are absolutely brilliant.
