Whopper red slippers went in the washing machine on the weekend.
Had to put it through 3 wash cycles before it was properly felted. I'm not 100% satisfied with the results - the texture is a little uneven, due to previously discussed problems with a frontloader.
I read the machine manual back to front and still can't work out how to stop the spin cycle. Apparently every wash program has a short spin cycle except for the Delicates program, which won't create enough agitation for felting. Grrrrr....
As a result the spinning put all these permanent creases on the slippers.
I guess the only solution is probably to watch the machine like a hawk while it's felting and turn it off manually when it starts spinning. Really productive use of 2 hours...
