Re: [fibernet] Re: felting machine
I have a couple pieces of felt I had made out of my own wool. These were done on a mini-mills felting machine. Yes it had marks when it initially came off of the machine - but they were completely gone once the wool totally dried and relaxed. Neither piece I have has retained any of those 'waffle' marks. I have Shetlands. Later on I bought a piece from the same woman who did my felt, that was made out of 'leftovers' from her carding machine. It is gorgeous, and again no waffle marks.

RE: [fibernet] Re: felting machine
Glad to hear that. They knew how to use the machine better I guess. The ones I saw had been done several weeks before and they still had the distinct and deep pattern. I think it would have had to relax back to being unfelted to get rid of them. I think they were going at it to fast and hard. It is nice to know that it will work to make felt.

RE: [fibernet] Re: felting machine
It looked smooth. The mini mills one has a deep pattern in the surface that leaves a pattern. I haven't seen it used by anyone that knows how to make felt. The place I saw it they where using the waste to felt. So they where not starting out very well.
