This is an awesome video. Thank you for taking time to make this video. I was trying to figure this “felting” stuff out and have been having a hard time finding good information about it. This is great.😊
Oh, YES, you gave the solution ! Knit a little square piece and check the way it reacts, of course!🙂
THANK YOU for a cohesive, well thought out and well produced video answering so many questions I had. I am sick and tired of content creators more interested in being in their own videos and putting bad music intros in the video which wastes everyone's time. Just subscribed :)
So happy to find your simple, clear, instructions. I’m really grateful and appreciate your down to earth way. It’s like being with a friend.
Great instructions! I regularly felt/full old sweaters from the thrift shop and upcycle them into mittens. Sadly I have a front loader, but I throw lacrosse balls in the wash and it works well enough. I like the laundromat idea though :) Also as a side note, the bar in the top loader is called an agitator :) My next machine will be a top loader will a removeable agitator!!
Wow, you are knowledgeable I am into this less than 1/2 way and I am impressed. I will have to watch this again and take notes. Thank you and blessings to you and yours. Later I have to pay attention to the rest of this video.
Fantastic and thorough explanation of felting…especially appreciate the math ratio formulas!!!
Hi Erica, You did a wonderful job sharing all the felting techniques. I loved your hair analogy as a curly haired person it fits all the same strategies as hair as wool is hair to an animal. I liked learning about the different animal hairs as you did a great job describing it. Thank you and Iook forward to watching you in the future.
Thank you so much for the great break down and helping this make sense. 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for all this information. Clear and instructive, probably all I need to try felting my little crochet project. And for the first time I’m glad we have an old washing machine.
Thanks for this detailed video! I have some Icelandic yarn I want to full (now I know the difference) and this was helpful in conceptualizing what i need to do for sizing.
Erica, what is your Ravelry store address? It should be there in your description for all videos. Thanks for the great instructions.
I learn so much from this video! Thanks
Thank you, i will try my first felt crochet... Lots of helpful information 😻
Hi Erica! New to your channel and will subscribe. I have never felted and am looking to get started (on a small scale) by making a wallet or something. Great information about the fibers to use and all that. I can't wait to explore all that you have to offer. Thank you!
I knit hats and felt them. I just made one with 100% baby llama chunky from Cascade Yarns. It shed so much! I always put my knits in a zippered pillowcase in case this will happen. I also air dry them, and this one is still shedding as I run my hand over it to shape it. Could it be short hairs causing the shedding?
Hello from France district of Auvergne and its volcanos. I have old wool coming from my mother and I don' t know if they are treated against shrinking or not. Is there à way to check it ?
Faites un essai dans la machine à laver. Si ça rétrécit c’est du non traité sinon c’est du superwash. Je file mes écheveaux donc je n’ai que l’embarras du choix mais j’ai parfois des doutes à cause des traitements de teinture et c’est ce que je fais
