Mystery Bundle from Fabric Mart Help Identifying
MrsCharisma   Advanced Beginner MN USA Member since 2/1/13 Posts: 343	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/19/13 3:09 PM I ordered the smaller Mystery Bundle from FabricMart. I got a pile of knits (1-1 1/2 yds). They feel "cottony" and not like jersey and have 2 way stretch. The aqua feels thinner/lighter than the others. .Knits This is sort of thick and almost feels felted. There is 1 1/2 yards of it. Brown This is slightly transparent when held up to the light, a little scratchy, and is somewhat flowy, not like chiffon or charmeuse or anything, but not stiff at all. Blue And I have NO clue what this is, but there is only 1/2 yard of it so... ?? I also got 1 1/4 yard of lining material (acetate?) and 1 1/2 yards of flannel -- Edited on 3/19/13 3:11 PM -- ------ Nakisha - A new sewist with a passion! :) www.sewcraftychemist.blogspot.com Singer Talent 3321 | Brother 1034D

Melton is very receptive to needle felting, it could be used for small home dec projects or a casual purse. It could also be used for smaller winter accessories, like a hat or mittens. ------ mmmmm woooool
