themadpatter thanks for the advice! I didn't know about what causes wool to felt!!! You have given me a lot to think about and I'm definitely doing it as soon as the weather turns sunny and warm again!
And that is very sweet of you to offer your help! Had you been closer, I would definitely have taken up the offer!
vschieve Of course Woolite! That is brilliant! As for the quick drying in the summer, I'm afraid that the climate in Burgundy, France is not as hot as in Texas lol
