I was excited by Zed's 'Beyond Nuno' ebook and decided to see what I could felt and what I couldn't.
I order the sample pack from Thai silks and am slowly making my way thru all of the samples.
I'd lay out some black merino (~ 18 micron) with a pack of samples, felt, then throw the mess into the washer & dryer.
Here are the results. Unfortunately, Thai only labels the packs with their code, not the name, but I figure I can go back later and find the ones I like.
The Devore satin did nicely (OOPS, this is the 'before pic' I'll have to take and 'after' pic). They're laid out Top left to bottom right in order (I hope). You can see that I threw a few pieces of polyester on there also to see what happened. They seemed to do OK.
These were a little more interesting.. (the last two pics
With this group I had one that did not felt at all (red DNF). It was a piece that had been taped together so I just used the small portion. It would have been under the label on the felted piece. The unprocessed piece is on the right side of the samples. I was pleasantly surprised that the velvet did well.
