Something blue...

I've "felted" way too many sweaters in my life but this is ridiculous! I have this light blue area rug and it was filthy so...I have to wash it, right?
Well, here's what I found when I opened the washing machine!!! The thing is in the dryer now and I'm scared to look.
I'll show you in a few minutes...


This is the inside of my washer after I pulled the rug out.


And some of the fuss that got everywhere!


Even on the floor!
