To felt: Hot Machine Wash (adding a pair jeans helps with agitation on front loaders) then Machine Dry. Remove from dryer before completely dry and steam press. If the wool fabric hasn’t felted enough to your liking, repeat process.

Tweed is a unfinished woolen fabric, of a soft, open, flexible texture resembling cheviot or homespun, but more closely woven. It is made in either plain or twill weave and may have a check or herringbone pattern. Subdued, interesting color effects (heather mixtures) are obtained by twisting together differently colored woolen strands into a two- or three-ply yarn.
