You must use a 100% wool yarn for this to work. Use a worsted weight yarn for thick fabric. Here is a link to yarn that will work well.

Well, that is a really interesting. I used to do a lot of wet felting by hand, but my body finds it very hard work these days.

[@AnnaHaferman]

Yeah, I don’t think I would have the patience to do it by hand.

Love the video, i has seen this washing machine but thought it too little. You had a great idea making it a felting machine. Slippers should do great in it. I did buy a larger one for the spin dryer. But haven’t tried it out as of yet. Another great idea!
Thanks for sharing

[@catherinegilius5531]

Thats a great idea ! I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. Thanks

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thanks so much Catherine!

[@bonniecolleenpappin8807]

Cute! Looking forward to seeing the video on the slippers. Thanks!

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thanks Bonnie!

I bought the exact same washer from TEMU to do felting! Thanks for the video as I haven’t actually tried it yet but now I’m really motivated to do some felted samples with the different wool yarns I have so I can plan some larger projects. Your tips will be very helpful.

[@AnnaHaferman]

I can't resist a gadget. I was not expecting it to work for felting, but it does a very good job. It's fun to use and really cute. Let me know how it goes!

[@aymonharris5783]

I have a question about tension on the lk150. How do you set the tension to 10-13? They're right on top of 6-9

[@AnnaHaferman]

You don’t. They just label them that way for when you use thicker yarn or every other needle. The numbers are supposed to correspond to hand knitting needles. So, 9 and 13 are the same setting on the dial.

[@aymonharris5783]

@@AnnaHaferman that makes sense 👍

[@aymonharris5783]

Can it be 100% acrylic?

[@AnnaHaferman]

No, acrylic doesn’t shrink so it won’t work for felting.
