  • Hot Water

    Cool water felts slowly — reheat if progress stalls.

  • Soap Type

    Olive oil soap traditional — dish soap works but rinse thoroughly.

  • Shrink Math

    Always layout 40% larger — cannot add wool after felting starts.

Safety Notes

  • Hot soapy water — use gloves if sensitive skin.
  • Wet floor slippery — towel surrounding area.
