Fulling, not felting. Felting is what you do to fleece (wool that *hasn't* been spun, knitted, crocheted, or woven. It normally is scoured (a special type of process used to clean wool, fiber, etc. If you agitate said wool while scouring it, it will felt and can't be carded or combed, and it renders it useless. Unless you are _trying_ to felt it that is). You *full* (by controlled shrinkage) woven, knitted, or crocheted items. Normally to make them more wind resistant. People use them interchangeably, but they are very different things. How do I know this? I spin and I have done both.
