If you use felt as a base for your needlework, what happens when the piece needs washing? Will the work be ruined and your many hours of stitching wasted? Felt-o-rama has done a wash test of the four types of felt the company carries. The results: It’s all good news. See the post.

    Thanks for blogging my ‘felt wash test’! I really hope this information will help out crafters who are working on projects that require machine washing! 🙂

    Thank you for this! Just had an “incident” with my cat and my felt stash (he peed on it) and thought it was all ruined. I’ve now bunged it in the washing machine with confidence.
