I'm a felter in Ireland and have been searching the web for various felt links. I'm also very interested in finding other felters with blog sites. Thanks for this little gem of a post.

I recently tried quite hard to make felt from a 100% wool scarf (or rather to full a scarf), but was too chicken to put it in the washing machine, so tried the hand-felting way. Two comments: one, I looked like I'd had an expensive manicure, since my nails got so gorgeously white! Bonus! And two, it was incredibly hard labor! Is it common that machine-knitted stuff is more difficult to felt than looser hand-knitted stuff? I'll have to get hold of some roving to try 'real' felting now! Thanks for the useful links!
