Yesterday all you felters helped me out at work.
How you ask?
Well I work at Michaels, I'm the front end supervisor but at this particular moment I was putting away things in the seasonal department. I customer asked my manager if she had anyone who knew about yarn. She said she'd call someone, but since I know our yarn department like the back of my hand (obsessed much) I popped my head up and said "What do you need?"
"I need Patons Merino for that thing where you make something than shrink it" she said
"Felting?" I asked.
"You know what it is?" she asked.
"Yes where you knit something and then put it in the washing machine or in really hot water until it shrinks and felts." I said
"It's called felting?" she asked.
"Yes" I said
I told her I didn't think we carried Patons Merino but I double checked to be sure (we don't).
So I guess I really didn't help her find what she wanted but thanks to all you lovely ladies and gents I knew what it was she wanted to do right away so at least she didn't waste her time.
