Wool and Water

Wool and Water - takes a while to soak in. 

You can't do this with acrylic yarn. 

You can see how the water pools up and doesn't soak in immediately.

The water from the tap ran for a while before soaking through to produce the circle below. 

Just after the water was turned off.

Partially wet - and you can see how much water I poured onto it.
