Well, not really. They're mini-prototypes for a sorcerer's hat I got sucked into making. They'd been sitting around unfelted for months, but last night I finally got to commandeer Steve's washing machine, which gets unbalanced if I even look at it wrong, and they felted up nicely. I'm using Valley Yarns Berkshire, which is a soft wool/alpaca blend.Measurements for the pointier hat (on the left):
| Before felting | After felting | |
| Height | 4" | 2.875" |
| Brim diameter | 7.75" | 6.875" |
| Opening diameter | 4.5" | 2.5" |
I'm going to make one more prototype, with a slightly more pronounced cone, and then move on to the full-sized hat.
