Stupid question - what is felting??
I don't think anyone answered your question but felted wool is washed first in soap and water and in colonial days they used a felting tool (wood handled with three long spikes) in order to rake the wool and clear the nap from it. I've read where blazers are the least favored choice to felt and that wool pants are the best to felt. So check out your local thrift shop for some wool items and make into purses, gloves, scarves, etc. Someone on here suggested a video to watch w/the link so you might try that.
