Inside out batt

Today is going to be devoted to experimenting with batt making.  I want to make a batt that I can felt into a variety of pouches from the same piece of felt.  The inside of this batt is a sunny yellow.  When you flip it over, you have a variety of greens with a hint of yellow.  Throughout both sides of the batt I included silk that was dyed the same color as the wool.  I will share more later...have a fabulous day!!! :)

    ooooh, beautiful colors. I'd have a hard time felting it because I want to spin in. I've been making batts like yours to felt and I have some beautiful purses where the inside is essentially one color and the outside is a blend of both. It's fun making it this way instead of just layering with various roving.

    Looking forward to seeing your finished result.
