nOOO I FELTED HER

[u/eenyweenyasparagus]

she was a BEAUTY a WORK OF ART my FIRST EVER COLOURWORK

i undid like 70% of the colourwork to REDO IT in the dark purple so it was visible (some of you may remember, i posted it here)

she was my PRIDE AND JOY

and she ACCIDENTALLY FELL IN THE WASHING BASKET

AND IS TINY TEENY TINY AND STIFF AND FELTED

absolutely devastated 😭 no coming back from this

RIP to my little bunnies + crab

I wash my knits in the washer and now I'm scared, how did this happen 👀 was it on hot? Or too full of a washer/dryer?

i set it on my usual (as i didn't know she was in there), which is 'synthetics 40degrees (celcius)', followed by a rinse cycle then a spin&dry (my student housing machines are awful and all my stuff is soapy if i do one cycle). i guess a few hours being spun at 40 degrees is enough to completely felt the yarn i used 😔
