Learn how to felt your knit projects by hand if you lack a top loading washing machine. This demonstration of hand felting 100% wool knit oven mitts takes place in a bucket while protecting the skin of your hands.

WARNING: When felting oven mitts as is shown in the video, you want to make sure that the resulting fabric is really tight as to protect the hand of the user. Do not attempt to touch something hot when the fabric is wet.

  • Great demo, thanks for sharing it. Rubber kitchen gloves protect your hands, and if you get the ones with a bit of texture on the palms, they also help with the agitation needed for the felting.

  • It was EXTREMELY helpful! My future mom-in-law's boyfriend has a front opening washer and I've been looking for a different way to felt my crocheting. Thank you so much!

  • Thanks For the tip.
