Grrrrh!!! So, my knee length woolen tunic which was the first thing I've ever knitted (knitting tres expensive -- the cumalitive cost of the wool was more than buying a brand new dress from Karen Millen (though it didn't feel like it at the time, 'cos I bought two balls of yarn a week instead of cigs, until I had enough wool to make a start)) ( Read more... )

I have no idea if it's possible to de-felt wool; probably not. Still, I'd say hang onto it and make it into a jacket/duster/miscellaneous garment. Also if it's looking tired, you can add extra decoration by surface needle felting, basically taking unspun wool and attaching it to the surface using barbed needles, you can get some really nice effects

Shite! Had a feeling that it was probably not possible to delfelt it.

"surface needle felting, basically taking unspun wool and attaching it to the surface using barbed needles"

Okay, that looks complicated, long winded and barbed needles == not to be considered in environments full of idiots. The fracking thing still isn't dry, so it's going to have to wait till the next time the van breaks down and I have an accidental day off.

grrrh argh!
