And, if you are wondering, the brown is short because that is the brown is almost used up. Only this remains.
There was quite a bit more of one yarn strand than all the others, but I used it till the first strand was finished.
When I started this brown stripe, I thought I would get 3 rows completed but I got four rows in, short 9 stitches before the browns gave out. Decent mileage really. I decided to just get on with the work and started the last purple row right there. I wanted to use up the yarn to the bitter end. Mission accomplished. The purple will go a bit further and will, I hope, make this chair pad, long enough that I do not have to add another colour.
If 8 balls does indeed make a good size felted chair pad, then it's time to pick out the next batch of colours from the bin of Pallette.
This next pad will be greens and rosy pinks. The greens are pretty accurate in colour here, but the deeper rosy tones look brown.
The more I work on these chair pads, the more I can't wait to put them into service. It's a really nice use of yarn I had no plans for and it uses up a significant amount of it. For the first time ever, this bin of yarn closes easily.
