But can you wash craft felt? The answer is yes, but proceed with caution! If you work with craft felt a lot, you know that felt is incredibly delicate. We highly suggest handwashing your felt, but it is possible to machine wash it, if done properly. Pro Tip: If you are working on a project with craft felt that you think might need to be washed in the future, consider prewashing it by soaking it in warm, soapy water.

This will bind the fibers close together, so you don't have to worry about that happening when you wash it later. We highly recommend using the hand washing method for felt, especially for those projects that have sentimental value.

Felt absorbs water easily, and if you do not wring it out, it will trap that water in its fibers, causing mold to grow. Let it air dry! While machine washing is not the best way to wash your felt, it is still possible if you proceed with caution. Machine washing felt is probably better saved for large batches of felt, where you don't have to worry as much about the water overfilling.

Machine wash with cold water on a delicate cycle. Make sure the machine does not fill all the way with water. Too much water can ruin the felt and alter its shape. You want the water to just cover the felt. Run the felt through the entire washing cycle. There will be more shrinkage this way and the felt will become lumpy. Ironing helps to smooth the lumps.
