Can cashmere be felted?

Yes, cashmere can be felted, but the process is usually avoided for finished garments. Agitation, heat, and moisture cause the scales on the fibers to interlock, shrinking and thickening the fabric. Controlled felting can be used creatively for accessories or textured designs, but unintentional felting during washing can permanently reduce softness and size.
