As weavers, we know wet-finishing is a vital and important part of the weaving process. During wet-finishing, fibers move around, “bloom,” and in the case of wools, they can also felt or full.
This step is vital to many projects, so we wanted to give you a solid foundation with today’s skill guide. To start, you’ll look at two factors to consider when wet-finishing a handwoven project. Next, learn why you choose detergents over soap and discover four great detergent options. Then, finish with a few projects and a recommended video resource to help you explore further.
