I bought one skein of Noro yarn a couple years ago to knit a piece that I could turn into a purse/bag. Unfortunately I lost the label along the way so now I am not sure if it is 100% wool or a wool/silk combination. Anyone know what would happen when I tried felting it and it has more than just wool as the fiber?

If it has silk in it the felting will not be uniform and at the same rate of shrinkage as an all wool. You can get around this by doing a swatch but if you don't want to lose any of the yarn then I would suggest once you wet felt I would use a needle felting tool to bring in any areas that are not the way you wish. Hope that helps.
