My first attempt at felting is gone bad. I have a swatch in boiling water for 30 minutes or more...and it has retained it&#39;s size, stitches and such. Nothing has changed, except the piece has gotten wet. </p> <p>There is NO fabric look whatsoever. The double crochet stitches round and round still look very much like double crochet stitches, round and round. </p> <p>I do not have my own washing machine, so I thought I&#39;d try the boiling method I&#39;d read about. </p> <p>Sadly, I used two skeins of this 100% wool to make a hat with ear flaps for my daughter. It&#39;s oversized for me, so for my pre-teen daughter, it will only be a head sock. </p> <p>HELP!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.crochetme.com/forums/thread/112965.aspxTue, 24 Aug 2010 12:09:49 GMTa67ddc32-88dd-4d96-a48b-678eefde7757:112965shafna19897http://www.crochetme.com/forums/thread/112965.aspxhttp://www.crochetme.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=507&PostID=112965<p> <p>I was looking online some tips on how to felt acrylic yarn and there&#39;s nothing!!!!! so being the self taught/ resourceful person that i am i decided to try my own felting technique and after trying different things, i finally came up with a very easy and fast felting technique!!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>*please note that a great felt will take longer.*</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>1. crochet a swatch</p> <p>2. with a blow dryer heat the fabric for a few minutes</p> <p>3. with a hair brush or a hard shoe brush (any brush with hard bristles will do) brush the swatch making sure to change direction every stroke.</p> <p>4. brush and heat and brush again until the peace is done.</p> <p>5. DONE! u created a very &nbsp;easy fast felted piece!!</p> <div></div> </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.crochetme.com/forums/thread/121878.aspxThu, 23 Jun 2011 15:04:44 GMTa67ddc32-88dd-4d96-a48b-678eefde7757:121878Nichawley7713http://www.crochetme.com/forums/thread/121878.aspxhttp://www.crochetme.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=507&PostID=121878<p>I just sent away for a hat form (haven&#39;t received it yet), anyone have advice for making my first needle felted hat? &nbsp;Is it possible to use more than one type of fiber for one project: in other words, can I combine wool and alpaca roving?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
