What I've learned about felting

Supervisor  
-Thrift stores are the best sources for wool sweaters. 
-Wool blends will felt if the blend is at least 85% wool.
-Remove seams, tags, zippers, buttons and cuffs away for flat, non distorted felt.
-Wash like colors in hot water with a high agitation cycle.
-I dry as well with heat for more dense felt.
-Small dogs make motivated supervisors of pre felting sorting.
