I've been looking online, and there seems like there is many kinds to choose from.Thanks!!!!
NoYou need a natural fibre to get felting, usually wool
It will get frayed and 'pilly' if it is exposed to a lot of friction though.
No, you need to use a natural fiber that isn't superwash.
You should use a tight woven cloth such as cottonIf using a knit fabric back it with a stabilizeryou can use many different threads for this remembering the thinner the thread the more it will take to fill in the spaceyou'll want to make it fairly tight to keep the loops from pulling outEnjoy and remember to keep fingers away from where you are punchinglearned from experience ouch
