How to felt a knitted piece

Step 7 Finished Product!

Once the piece is dry, you will need to do one final step before you can use your cool and funky bag!

The felting process will create a bunch of 'fuzzies' on the bag. To get rid of them, simply take a scissors, lightly pull up on the fuzzies and carefully snip them off. Be careful not to cut your felted bag in the process!

See! Felting is very easy and simple to do! I hope this encourages you to experiment with your knitting or crocheting projects. It can add a new dimension to all of your projects! To add even more fun, try mixing a fun non-wool yarn for added texture (like fun fur!) to your knitting. It won't felt with the rest of the yarn, but adds a really neat addition to your piece.

Enjoy and Happy Felting!

you can also put it in very hot water and let it sit,so you don't have to start a wash

Have you made this work? I believe the fibers do need agitation for the little hooks to stick together and felting to happen.

Sorry,late. i havent been on fo a wile. It took me a couple of times, but it made a very nice coaster out of a "practice" peice. Also once the water gets cool, take it out. Try for as hot of water as you can

I'm pretty sure it will felt faster with agitation, though.
