felting wool for cover  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I just picked up a wool sweater @ Savers ($0.99!-yeah!) and would like to try a wool diaper cover or a bum sweater....I've seen some places mention "felting" the wool before turning it into a diaper cover.....has anyone done this & what difference does it make?? Can I felt the sweater just by washing it on hot in the machine?? I'm clueless on this one! Thanks!

Exactly! Wash it on hot, and then dry it on hot. Felting shrinks the fibers together and makes it more waterproof
