We discussed this fiber in this tread and I tried to make a proper thing. This is a tea cosy and egg cup hats. I like the wool, the smooth and firm finish.   |

Wow! Beautiful! I love the design and colours. The hanging loop made from the strawberry stalk is great. And even though it's firm, it still looks very soft to touch.
It's really smooth and firm, but is it simply down to your skill and experience or did the fibers make a bit of difference do you think?

Thank you Zed! Lyn, thank you! I think the quality of the finish is mostly the quality of this wool. The tea cosy on this picture is made of 18.5 mic merino (long fibers) as well and I worked very hard to make it smooth but it is still fluffy a bit!  I do not mean that this Cape Merino is perfect but it could work for some objects better than other wool. Of course it's my opinion and my personal preferences! |

Beautiful results. I love seeing how different types of wool felt. The wool always has something to "say".

The wool always has something to "say". O yes! And very unexpected things sometimes! |

It looks great. The egg cozies are cute. It is always interesting to see how different wools work.

So if I use this fibre, my felting will turn out as good as yours? :-)
It sounds like you had some prior discussion about this fibre - Cape Merino? I've never heard of it before... Is it easy to come by?
