Hi everyone!
Can someone please tell me how to full wool. I just returned from Catholic Charities with some 100% wool suits that I want to take apart and full the wool to make some gifts for Christmas. But I don't have a clue. Thanks!

For uncortroled felting just put in the washing machine, hot water bath, agitate a while, Then tumble in the dryer until dry. You'll have a nice thick felt for bags, vests, slippers, etc.

I think you just wash in hot and and dry it in a dryer. If that is in what your after felted wool very dense and thick.
