Hi, I started a cushion case this afternoon. I will do the fulling tomorrow. What do you suggest to do to start with cold material? Should I use soapy water hotter to warm up my wool. Thank you for your help. Have a nice evening.  |

Hello Odette, yes, one way to re-start a piece of felt is to cover it with net then blot as much water out of it using a small sponge with straight up and down movements. Then re-wet with warm, slightly soapy water.

I agree with Lyn. The other thing is even though you add warm or even hot soapy water it will cool quickly and not need to worry. if you are having trouble with the final shrinkage you can reheat it with hot water or pop it in the microwave to warm up. Not too long, keep an eye on it. the other thing to remember is when you rinse it out it will shrink some more so don't wait till the very end to rinse the soap out.
