  Two Takes on Felting Wool Jersey
As the felting process does its magic, it shrinks the fabric lengthwise by at least a third, and somewhat less crosswise.
Typically, wool jersey yardage is 56 inches wide, but for a felted project I use the yardage recommendations for 45-inch-wide fabric, and buy twice the needed amount, which allows plenty for the project and the samplemaking and experimentation that are involved.
Then, using a wet press cloth, steam the fabric before cutting; don't touch the felted surface directly with the iron, and be sure to let the fabric cool and dry before you reposition it on the ironing board.

Other methods to prevent felting are chemical removal of scales; elimination of the use of tight yarn and fabric constructions, which restrict freedom of fiber movement; and the use of resin coatings, which bind fibers together.
Wool felt and other nonwoven fabrics are used in inking pads for automatic printers; in vibration dampeners for machinery; as soundproofing; and for polishing glass, granite, and some metals.
