Felting:
Wash the placemat (2 placemats at most) in the washing machine at 40°C (warm water) using the wash cycle for cotton or coloured clothing (approx. 2 hours), spin cycle approx. 800-1000rpm, do not use a short cycle or water saving program. Add a small amount of detergent without optical brighteners or softeners. Do not add softeners to the load. To assist the felting process add 3 tennis balls to the load. After the felting process remove immediately from the machine and shape the felted piece into the given length and width. Allow to dry out of direct sunlight.
Tip: If you feel the placemat didn’t felt enough or is too large, you can repeat the washing cycle again. If the placemat is too small you can stretch and pull it into shape while it is still wet.
