I have done wet and dry felting over the years. I made myself a cobweb scarf. It was beautiful but I found that I couldn't wear it because it was very itchy next to my skin!

I used no. 25 knitting needles and two strands on multi-coloured wool, one uniform width and the other variegated widths. I then felted it with an embellisher.

Next I used pre-dyed merino tops to create circles.

Embellished knitting with merino tops circles and running stitch. The felt is quite thick but I love the combination of colours.

In the next sample, I have used purple wet felted merino tops, yellow merino roving wool embellished with variegated knitting wool and blue dry felted merino tops.
