Felting:
Pig is easily elted in washing machine (top loading). Use
HOT
water and lowest water setting. It is helpul to add a ew
items
besides the piggy to the wash to increase the agitation, which
is
what causes the elting. You can add a small amount o
detergent
i you wish but pig will elt without it. Set machine or the
most
rigorous agitation cycle. Keep a careul watch to rescue pig
beore
spin cycle. You may want to set the dial back to agitation a
ewtimes to get desired size. Remove pig, rinse in cold water. Blot
out
as much excess water as possible and set in warm place to
dry.
When dry embroider on eyes and nostrils. You may want to
trim
some o the uzz o piggy i you used Mauch Chunky.
ALSO
This pattern works just as well in our Naturally Nazareth
yarn!
Just choose your color, and instead of the suggested needle size
use a
U.S. 10 / 6 mm if felting or a U.S. 6 / 4 mm if not felting.
