Instructions:
1. Wet National Nonwovens WoolFelt® completely in a sink or basin. Do not rub or agitate.
Wet each color separately (some dye may be released into the water - this is normal).
2. Squeeze by hand to remove as much water as possible. Avoid wringing as it may stretch
the material. ( I roll mine in a towel then step on it to get the water out. )
3. Place in a standard tumble clothes dryer on regular setting until WoolFelt® is nearly dry
(approximately 35 minutes). Do not over dry. Dry light colors separately from darker colors.
Colors may change slightly during drying process.
4. Lay flat to dry completely, smoothing fabric gently by hand. Large wrinkles may be
removed by using a light steam iron held just above the surface of the fabric. Return felt to
its original form by pressing with a steam iron.
Felting WoolFelt® Instructions - Creating sherpa or fleece-like felt is fun and easy. This Sherpa look is perfect for wearables, decorative accessories, and stuffed animals.
