how to make a pod using a resist

I used this great tutorial to make my first resist piece but there are light creases going all around the side of my pot. Is it not felted or fulled enough?

Liz, it's a fabulous vessel! Lovely colour combo too. Why not put it in the First Quarter Challenge section.

I always felt my vessels until they won't shrink any more (i.e. fully fulled) that way they keep their shape nicely.

There's nothing wrong with having light creases and they just add to the charm of the piece. Every vessel you make will be different!

Thanks Lyn, I was making it just to enter the First Quarter Challenge! I quit messing with it because it seemed to be pilling a bit but I feel it could be a bit firmer. Maybe I'll have a go at it again and just see what happens

It looks fine. Did you put silk on the outside? Try not to rub it without something between you and it. A thin plastic to protect it. or roll I instead. if you have a wash board to roll on they work great. What kind of wool did you use?

I used mostly merino and added a tiny bit of silk noil and mulberry silk, both for decoration.
