How to wash felted wool items
Wool felting is a simple process (please refer to September 1st, 2012) that gives a beautiful finish to knitted items. The items end up as nice fuzzy, thick wool. But with any process that uses water and heat to create an effect, you then have to be very careful in how you would clean these items. There are four ways to wash theses items.
Method One: Soak and Rinse
Fill a basin with lukewarm water. Add mild detergent, Woolite or Snuggles. Swish around. Let soak for 20 minutes. Rinse in cold water. Gently wring out item. Lay flat to dry.
Method Two: Hand Wash
In a sink or basin run lukewarm water. Using a mild detergent, gently scrub the garment against itself. Rinse with cold water. Lay flat to dry.
Method Three: Dry Clean
Drop off at dry cleaner. Let them take care of your item. Pick up item.
Method Four: Washing Machine
Wash on gentle cycle in cold water. Also rinse in cold. Use mild detergent, like Woolite or Snuggles. Lay flat to dry.
Be Careful and Enjoy Guys!
