I accidentally felted one of my favorite hats. It must have been under of my sweatshirt when I picked it up and put it in the laundry. I didn’t notice it until I was folding the laundry. It still fits, it just looks weird. It is not the cool, slouchy hat it once was.
Have you ever accidentally felted your knitting?
Yes I accidentally felted two sweaters:( They were a complete lost

No, but I did with a scarf that was a little more merino hairy than I wanted after washing.

I have and it wasn’t my fault. The yarn said Superwash but the socks still felted:(
They sell something called Unshrinkit. I don’t know how well it works but I’m glad to know about it:)

I should check that out. Did you complain to the manufacturer? You deserve free yarn if it said it was superwash.

I didn’t because it didn’t happen on the first wash. I think it was the 3rd or 4th. It was very weird.

Oops! Well, it doesn’t look weird to me! The only thing I’ve unintentionally felted is the heel of some of my socks!
