Set/3 Felted Wool Bowls -Small - Greens with Med.Heathered Grey Base

Hand crocheted with an 85/15 wool/mohair blend in shades of green - pistachio, leaf green and oregano with a medium heathered grey base. These bowls were wet felted, dried around molds to create their shapes and then steam blocked.Before they are wet felted the bowls are much larger in shape, but with the combination of agitation, hot water and soap the wool fibers interlock and form a firm fabric. They are really lovely just by themselves as a table centerpiece or as a creative and colorful way to organize your office desk.
