Thorns yarn bowl

I love yarn bowls and have a whole collection: wooden, ceramic, felted. The old thorn stitch is a perfect way to use one variegated yarn and a contrast solid color. Beautiful colorwork worked simply through some slip stitches, worked in the round. Dimensions: prior felting: 21cm/8.25 in - diameter( wide) , 22.5cm/8.85in tall After felting: 12cm/4.85 in wide, 12 cm/4.85 in tall (with brim folded). There’s no science in felting this, just a wild pleasure in throwing something in hot water washing cycle on purpose! You might need to have it in the hot wash a few times, depending on your machine. It should work after the first time, just stretch and shape to the dimensions or desired size, I usually put a small plastic container inside to give it a shape whilst still damp and let it dry. But if you don’t think the felting process was complete, put in the next load of washing.
