WHOA! That manos del uruguay felts like a mother! I ran it through for 10 min. (just like all the others) and it shrank to practically nothing. I had to stretch the heck out of it when it came out. It is absolutely gorgeous though. I'm going to have to felt one for myself too. I hope my sis isn't upset that it's quite a bit smaller than the others though. I'll post pics when it's dry. I'm frantically trying to ball up some Plymouth Galway yarn that is an absolute mess of tangles. It's one big tangle and it's pissing me off! I'm going to use it for the small gift bag purses I'm hoping I get finished with.
