Info Update
Thanks for your encouragement everyone… Lets see where this all takes me…
we are going to be away for a week from to-day…
The weather is driving me nuts… it’s 3 degrees above freezing today… last year by this time it was also warmish, -2C to -6C but it dropped to -27C by the 16th of Jan… we’ll see. Worst thing is there is no snow so it’s dark…
When we’ve got back we’ll start thinking more about the felting machine… (see my web page)
There needs to be some sort of general machine felting instructions of course but there should also be a clear idea and explanations about wet felting processes and all the in’s and out’s of that.
If you can’t felt… you can’t use a felting machine… it’s a simple as that…
Some have also asked for a video… Not sure what you want. A video of the machine felting?? (well that is pretty boring…) Or a video of us making machine felt?? (well that sounds like a lot of unpaid work…)
What might be fun is a video about Värtsilän Villa ja Värjäämö (try saying that when you are drunk…) See us processing our wool… so, shearing, sorting, dyeing, (from exhaustion…) carding and even a bit of felting at the end, plus all the local attractions…. (sounds like a travel documentary…) I guess we shall have to start on that this year…
But now I must go and wake Karoliina up, we should leave within the half hour… (I bet we get away at about 11.30…) See you soon..
remember this time….. it’s coming, to a place near you…..
eventually….
