Cashmere/wool fabric?

[twouglyducks]

I ordered some 50/50 cashmere/wool for diaper covers. I'm not sure how cashmere works. LOL Would I felt this the same way I would do with wool jersey??? :?

I've read that cashmere, as a rule, doesn't felt up as well. But, I'm not a felter so I couldn't say for sure :LOL

I've never felted wool, but I asked a friend who has made felted wool covers in the past and she said, yes, just do the same thing you would do for 100% wool.

FYI http://www.kiwipie.com sells 100% cashmere covers and 50/50 cashmere/wool covers, felted, so you can see what it will look like. I used to own one of their 100% cashmere felted covers and honestly, it felt just like the other wool covers I own.

:lol: I can't get a KP so that's why I bought the fabric. I'm just scared of ruining it at this price. :oops: I'm actually scared to cut it.
Thanks, though... I will just wash it on hot.

just do it like you'd felt regular wool, but I'd suggest putting it in a pillowcase to avoid getting all the cashmere lint all over your machine. That stuff will shed like a dog in heat those first few washes, LOL!!!
