For felting at 40 ° in a washing machine, wash in a paint cycle with a spin cycle. Use a liquid detergent but no wool detergent. If necessary, you can give some softener in the last rinse. To enhance the felting effect and economic use of the machine, wash it with light towels - but do not use new towels, as these can still dissolve fibers that bind firmly to the parts to be felted and do not completely fill the mesh. Should the bag be too big or too little felt after the first wash, another program (but not in the energy-saving, gentle or crutches program). After sewing the felted bag, pull it into shape, trim flowers and nubs. The curves can be formed particularly well over the clenched fist. To dry, dehydrate with crumpled parier or towels, replace now and then. Sew the handle according to the sketch or Nodell picture.

Further care: Felted matted when washing in the machine further, therefore, only gently by hand and wash with some wool detergent in about 20 ° warm water. Avoid rubbing, let it soak for a short while, swing it back and forth and use the same temperature for the water and rinse water. To dry and towel rolled express (do not wrestle!), Pull into shape and leave to dry.
