Knitting

• Felted Slippers Pattern
• Felting can be done by washing your finished wool product in the washing machine set on the hot cycle with a tablespoon of a mild liquid soap. It is not an exact science so you'll need to check every few minutes and stop the agitation process when it reaches the desired size. Then rinse in cool water to remove the soap residue and spin to remove as much water as possible, then block the item and allow to air dry. A purse is a good first project since the finished size can be large or small. Be careful mixing colors since the colors may run.
