------

Felting:
Set your washing machine for a small load size with warm water.
Put in 3-4 Tablespoons of liquid dish detergent.
Add scarf and 1-2 cotton terry hand towels or a bath size towel.
Stay with your machine while felting so you can check on progress.
Run wash cycle for approx. 5-6 minutes. Lift out scarf to check progress.
If no sign of felting, allow to wash another 4-5 minutes. Check again.
For this scarf to remain soft and have drape you do not want to make solid felt, you will stop felting when the knit stitches are blurred looking, but you can still see them.  Rinse well, roll in a towel to dry.

Washing machines vary in amount of agitation and times will vary. My Magtag machine took 11 minutes to felt the scarf shown in the sample.
