Description

• A purely natural product: 100% pure new wool
• High heat retention capacity due to the natural crimp which the yarn retains in part.
• This product can be used for felting and also be knitted into pure, warm, classic woollen garments. However, the finished knitted garments may then only be washed in the washing machine on the wool program or by hand.
• In contrast, for example, to the Hot Socks sock wool, this felt wool is not treated with superwash, as the felting effect is a required feature
• Quick knitting results due to large needles
• Wool moves easily over the needle
• Plain knitted models become special felted individual pieces
• Can be easily felted in the washing machine
• Minor knitting errors or uneven knitting disappear after the felting process
• This results in unique pieces, for example for decoration purposes, for cuddly warm feet or for special small gifts

Funky felt wool = a further development of our tried and tested plain and colour felt wool. Colourful, cheeky, bright colours, for example for cheerful table decorations or summer accessories

Care instructions

• Washable at 30 degrees, hand wash
• Liquid detergent for delicate fabrics or wool
• Dry knitted garments by laying them over a towel and pulling them into shape
• Do not dry in direct sunlight

Felting in the washing machine

• The objects are felted in the washing machine, coloured wash program 40°C, without fabric softener; a little washing powder without optical brighteners can be used.
• Spin action of at least 800/min.
• Wash the knitted garment on its own with three tennis balls
• The friction produced by the tennis balls assists the felting process
• After washing, pull the object into shape immediately and leave to dry.

Shrinkage

• Felt wool knitted pieces shrink more in width than in height when felting them in the washing machine
• Shrinkage in width approx. 30 %, in height approx. 40 %
• The felting result is most accurate if a sample is made in advance, i.e. produce a knitted piece approx. 25 cm x 25 cm and felt it in the washing machine, so that you can calculate the degree of shrinkage and then transfer it onto the knitted piece you wish to make
• The degree of shrinkage may differ, depending on the washing machine model or on whether the knitting is loose or tight
• The loop sample stated on the label is intended to show that a knitted piece which is knit too tightly will not felt properly, leaving the loop pattern still visible after felting.

Tip:  If the felted pieces are washed again later, please wash them using the wool program or by hand so that they do not shrink again.
