Wow Sonia and I thought my 58 degrees workplace was cold. Yes, I have my heavy felting clothes, too. Makes it hard to wear long sleeves though. ;-)

My work space isn't heated enough either. I use a propane construction heater to heat it up in the winter. heating the felt up will speed things up. I often think that it only seems to be taking a long time to felt because you are cold. My hands are getting arthritic so the cold bothers them more. I usually only heat things up in the microwave when I need to do the final fulling. Merino felts very fast. Short fiber bats even faster but it is expensive. With the domestic sheep breeds you need to find out if they are a wool sheep or a meat sheep. In general the meat sheep have that spongy wool. It's nice in the middle of a rug.

Maybe that's more like it, Ann. Other times people have posted similar questions, it hasn't been to do with overwetting.
