I am looking to make a knitted ski cap or beanie for my hubby that can be feltedI would be using a wool blend yarn for feltingThank you for any patterns or links on where to find a pattern.Sandy
u can get an accurate answer from the following site,
There are a couple of FiberTrends patterns for men's felted hatsThey are fairly widely available and not particularly expensive to purchaseBTW, wool must not be labeled superwash, and the yarn needs to be at least 85% animal fibers to feltMost wool blends, like Decor and Encore will not felt, since they are 85% acrylic and 25% woolWool/mohair, wool/llama, wool/alpaca blends will felt wellCascade 220 and Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride are probably two of the most widely available yarns that felt wellThese, and the FiberTrends patterns are carried by many LYS.
