Boiled WoolFelt® Instructions - sherpa-like, fleece-like felt in a wonderful natural fiber-blend
Creating fleece-like felt is fun and easy. This Sherpa look is perfect for wearables, decorative accessories, and stuffed animals. Sherpa-like textures are made with National Nonwovens' 20/80% or 35/65%WoolFelt® fabrics.
Instructions:
1. Wet National Nonwovens' 20/80% or 35/65%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.
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. Results may vary. Because WoolFelt® contains 20% wool or 35% wool, some shrinkage will occur during this process. Across a 36" wide swatch, there may be a loss of 2-4 inches. In length, the fabric may lose 3-5 inches per yard. To avoid future shrinkage upon completion, dry cleaning is recommended.
