below a swatch knit with Taos color #9 "Tucson"

Swatch knit in Taos color #9
knit at 4 sts/in on US size 9 (5.5 mm)


Here is the same swatch lightly felted for 2 minutes
by rubbing inside plastic bag with a little water and soap.
A very soft, nice fulled level of felting. More time would
result in tighter felt and no distinct stitches showing.
