Note re. felting with Lofty:
We tested felting a large swatch and although Lofty is not spun from machine washable wool, due to it's 3-ply structure and 30% micro-nylon content, it only fulls into a firmer fabric and does not actually form a firm, stitch-disappearing felt.
One felt designer found the knit fabric actually stretched and did not felt in her machine. Experiment with your Lofty and your machine, but do not expect a firm, felted fabric such as you would achieve with Taos or Iceland wool.
