Hei Jeg har akkurat strikket et sånt teppe. Men jeg synes det ble for løst, skulle ønske jeg hadde brukt tykkere garn. Brukte to tråder polaris. Men jeg tenkte om det kanskje går an å tove det? Eller vil det bli stivt og rart?

DROPS Design :

Hej Mailin. Du kan pröve at filte det lidt - lav eventuelt en pröve först og se hvad resultatet bliver og hvor langt du skal gaa i filteprocessen.

Jag har ingen återförsäljare av Drop Polaris här där jag bor. Och jag kan inte beställa via internet då det kommer komma försent. Så jag gick till Rusta och hittade ett liknande garn i tjocklek fast på 300 gr/ nystan. Det heter Yarn Cindy! Nu till mina frågor : Om jag har 3 nystan á 300g vardera behöver jag fortfarande ha två trådar då eller räcker det med en tråd? Och hur gör jag när ena nystanet är slut? Mvh
