The scarf I’ve been trying to felt went in a hot wash with the sheets yesterday, and that seemed to do the trick.

Here’s the Bendy yarn I ordered when I ran out of yarn, along with an extra cone of ‘almond’ for another project:

Here’s the scarf fresh off the loom:

Here’s a close up of the weave, showing the handspun stripes in the warp:

Here’s how the fabric looked after felting. The handspun felted and shrank, causing the superwash Bendy yarn to form ruffles:

And here’s the finished scarf:

And then, suspecting that a lot of the creases were caused by the spin cycle, I blocked it. This made the ruffles more discernable, instead of a bit lost among the general crumpliness:

It’s a wonderfully tactile scarf. The ruffles give an otherwise thin fabric some dimension and body, so the general feel is cushy. I’m happy with how this turned out, and I’d like to try it again with different colours for the feltable and superwash yarn. I reckon it would felt faster if the feltable yarn was fuzzy or a boucle yarn. And I’m picturing a scarf with black feltable yarn matched with a glittery superwash yarn.
