It's tough to find helpful info on shibori knitting/felting on the web. Best I've found is here and here. Both of these show the wrapping a rubber band around a marble or other object process which I did last time. Rather than making another bumpy shibori scarf I'm going out on a limb and doing my own wrapping idea. The scarf was machine knit in stockinet stitch with Blue Sky 100% alpaca in a natural milky beige color. I'd been warned not to choose a yarn that has been bleached since bleached yarns don't felt well. It's about 8 inches wide and 125 inches long. The recommended needle for this yarn is a no. 3 —no. 5. I believe the machine needle was the equivalent of a no.8. The stitches are really wide and loose at 4 per inch, which is what you want when felting. To get a good felting result you want the hot water and agitation to be able to get between the stitches and shrink 'em. So what I've decided to do is tightly wrap in 4 inch stripes down the length of the scarf with nylon twine. I'm hoping it will create a strange curly ruffle effect. Worst case it's gets deemed a Dr. Suess costume accessory. Wrapping takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R so get ready for some boring bitching and moaning entries.
