Felting's more controlled cousin.
The stitches disappeared. Something better remained.
Fulling is what happens when you subject knitted wool to heat, water, and agitation until the fibers tighten, bloom, and bond into something denser and more durable than what you started with. It is felting's more controlled cousin. The fabric shrinks.
The stitches disappear. What remains is not what you made but what it was always becoming. Every knitter who has accidentally fulled a sweater in a hot wash knows this feeling, though usually with more swearing. On purpose, it is a transformation. Off purpose, it is a lesson.
"Some things need a little agitation to become what they're meant to be."
The Word: One word. Seen differently.
Good things are better shared. Especially with people who own too much yarn.
In case you missed these….
