I was interested in felting some old sweaters that were made of Cashmere and Merino (not in the same sweater that is). I got on the net and had a look around. People have posted that it does felt, so I gave it a try. I bought a bunch of sweaters at the Good Will. I was very choosy regarding which items I wanted to experiment with. (no blends) I always try to buy the largest size possible. I found several men's XL 100% Merino sweaters. Well, I'm not all that jazzed about the result. It took several washings and drying to get any reasonable result. I think they were just a little too fine of a sweater. Although they did felt, I think they need to be a looser knitted variety. I am sure I will be able to make some cool stuff out of these pieces. Just some thoughts on the subject.
