Notes: The yarns I had this time around were a mix of superwash and non-superwash, which led to some real problems! When combined, they didn’t shrink evenly. Tried first washing on warm, getting more of a felted wool, then backed off a little and washed on cold with a little time in the dryer, just to create a light felted fabric. Last wrap was knit completely from superwash yarns, so it didn’t felt at all.
