In this video, Barb and Cynthia demonstrate the final step: felting and shaping, a project. We're making our Fuzzy Foot Socks in this video but the tips extend to other projects that are knitted or crocheted and then felted using a washing machine.
We're using a Wonder Washer here at the store. You can find this portable (tub on an agitator) washing machine on Amazon. We like that it's a more efficient use of water and it catches any "fuzz" that escapes from the wool during the felting process. We added hot water from the tab and a squirt of dish washing detergent.
After your project has been felted to the extent that you want, when you are laundering your felted projects later, hand wash in cool water and lay out to dry. Putting them back in the washing machine will cause them to felt even more.
The pattern for our Fuzzy Foot Socks is here: rivercityyarns.com/products/fuzzyfootsocks
And the addendum to create our "Epic Elf Edition" (as seen in the video) is here: rivercityyarns.com/products/rcy-original-addendums
