Part II: Heavier Felting in a Worsted Fabric

The configurations of the wool fibers in a worsted fabric have been studied at various stages of washing. Before there is any perceptible felting, small movements of portions of some fibers towards their root ends occur. These movements continue on further washing until loops are formed over some parts of the fibers while other parts are taut. At this stage felting and shrinkage become perceptible. At a later stage of felting, en tanglement of the loops occurs. The observed behavior of the fibers agrees well with that to be expected if Shorter's theory of felting is correct; there is no indication that the mechanism suggested by Martin plays any important part in the felting of this particular fabric.
