Felt according to your favourite method. Our suggested method is to use a top load
washer set to “Small Load” & the “HOT – COLD” water setting. Place the mittens in a pillow
case or throw in a pair of denim jeans, and a tsp of wool wash. Wash as many times as
necessary, until mittens reach desired texture consistency. *Eventually they will no longer
felt* These mittens were run through the cycle twice, just until stitch definition was no
longer clearly present. Place in a warm dry location until mittens are fully dried
