*How to Felt Wool
- Step 1: Gather Wool Items. Start by looking for wool items at thrift stores, savers etc
- Step 2: Wash the Item. Wash the wool item in hot, soapy water with a pair of jeans or some old towels. I have had great success using the washing machine and basic soap. Occasionally I have had to put them through a second cycle.
- Step 3: Dry the Item. After felting the item in the soap/washing machine, stick it in the dryer.
- Step 4: Wash and Dry Again.
