Back on the felting wagon
I finished knitting my oven mitt. Now all I need to do is felt it. I'm going to start the hand-felting with the test pouch on the left, but I really have no idea how to felt something without the help of a handy washing machine. Does anyone have any tips or links to share? Advice is welcome!

If you have a washboard or something with lots of ridges on it, rub the hot soapy wet knitted object on it.
Don't forget your soap.
I hand felted something small like the test pouch in the shower and used it as a "harsh love" loofah with lots of body soap. Turned out fine except beware the soap making your hands peel. Wear dish gloves.
