Bonjour, Chez moi, j'utilise une lessive maison à base de savon de Marseille et de cristaux de soude. Cela convient-il pour le feutrage ? Merci!

Bonjour Mme Jaulin, pas si votre lessive contient des agents blanchissants et des enzymes, vérifiez bien la composition; votre magasin saura vous aider si besoin, même par mail ou téléphone. Bon tricot!

Mittens - before and after felting

In this DROPS video we show a pair of mittens before and after felting. To prevent the thumb from felting together, turn the mitten to WS (wrong side) and place a narrow silk ribbon along the thumb. Secure the ribbon with a safety pin – NB: insert the pin vertically towards the tip of the thumb so it is easy to remove after felting. Turn the mitten back to RS (right side) before felting. 1. Place the mittens in the washing machine with a wool detergent that does not contain enzymes or optical brighteners. 2. Wash at 40 °C / 104 °F, normal spin, no pre-wash. 3. Stretch and shape the mittens to the correct measurements while still wet. 4. If they turn out too small: soak in water until completely wet, then stretch back to the desired size. 5. Afterwards, the mittens can be washed as any other wool garment.
