Daughter and I are interested in wool felting. We have run into some roadblocks but may be on the right track. It seems as if there is no longer such a thing as wool that has not been super washed, hence it cannot be felted. We drug out old sweaters, slacks, jackets that we thought were wool, not even the old black shawl. All were made with synthetic fibers or pure cotton. Cotton cannot be felted. It appears that felting can only be done on animal fibers.
I am old, but I am learning. Can't wait to get my hands on some carded wool! Watch out world, wool balls are coming!
