Emphasis on the BIG part!
This is Tough Love from Love Fest Fibers! It’s a super bulky felted wool! It’s pretty crazy!
Turns out you can knit with it too?!? Who knew? ;)
I’m currently knitting garter stitch rectangles on size 50 needles! Eventually though, I’ll do a bit of seaming and it’ll turn into a basket!
Sorta like that. It works up quickly, once you get the hang of it. If all goes according to plan, I’ll have 7 0r 8 of these babies to show you soon! It takes instant gratification to a whole new level. Start to finish one basket should be under two hours. I’m doing them assembly line style though, so I’ve only got a stack of garter stitch at the moment!
I’ll definitely share more pics! This stuff is a lot of fun to photograph. Stay tuned for more!
I’ve seen similar stuff at various fiber festivals and always wanted to give it a try. Looks like great fun!!!

Oh wow, that looks really cool but it also looks like it would be hard to knit with, kind of awkward at first at least. Looking forward to the finished baskets!

There’s definitely a learning curve! It’s gotten easier though!
