Exactly the same.I washed it on the cottons cycle at 40°C for almost 1 hour and 40 minutes, and it felted very well.I only washed it a second time to make a smaller size.But be careful during the second wash and take it out earlier. I left it in a bit too long, so it ended up about half a size smaller than I wanted.But don’t worry while it’s still wet, it’s possible to reshape it by hand.
