     Important to know before felting:

 
     Record all the measurements and changes before and after felting. You will be able to adjust the method to produce proper results. Always test a sample. Different colored yarns may felt differently. Colorfastness can be affected by very hot water. Any knitting that has been properly felted becomes very dense and matted.
