Would you like to make your own upcycled product from a worn out wool garment? All wool that is not superwash treated will felt when washed at high temperature. Wash the garment at 60 degrees C and stretch into shape while it's damp. It may be a good idea to wash it inside e.g. a pillowcase or a closed cotton bag in order to not get the washing machine full of wool fibres. The wool will felt better if it's washed together with more clothes/textiles.
Once the wool is felted, you can freely cut as you want as it doesn't unravel. Use your imagination, get a pattern and have fun!
Other ideas for what you can make from wool felt from worn out garments:
- Maybe the shrunken version fits someone smaller than yourself?
- A sweater can become a vest if you cut off the sleeves
- Sleeves can become baby pants
- Mittens, hat, PC or mobile cover, blanket, pillow, soft toy, seating mat
- And the offcuts? They may be used as patches for holes on other wool garments or to stuff a pillow
Another great thing about felted wool is that what has become sloppy, worn and ugly disappears when the fabric shrinks!
