Hello Ladies, I think I sent my last message to the wrong place. But I will try again. Can anyone help me with doing felted wool? I need directions on how to do it. If anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks
Deborah

Woven wool is felted and knitted wool is fulled by dramatic change in temperature & heavy agitation. A hot wash, cold rinse, in your machine should do the trick. Add as little water as you can get away with (and still let the fabric move freely) and use the heavy duty cyle (for heaviest agitation). Don't use fabric softeners. Dry wool in a hot dryer with an old towel or two to cut down on wrinkles. Use 100% (or very close to that) wool for best results.

To felt the wool, you wash it and then dry it in the dryer, making sure to clean the lint filter a few times if there is a large amount of wool. Wool is awesome! |
