This causes the fibers to swell and mesh together, as well as shrink. The result is a heavy fabric (felt). The knitted item can be cut and will not ravel.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139188188043795169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16258808.post-36963552543140182602007-09-02T15:52:00.000-04:002007-09-02T15:52:00.000-04:00I'm with Jeannie--as someone who doesn't knit, I d...I'm with Jeannie--as someone who doesn't knit, I don't know what "felting" means.
