Hi Pandall,
Knit your coat in wool It will not felt from being out int he rain. The
lanolin will repel the water. And it breathes so body moisture can escape.
Wool has a memory - unlike cotton - so returns to it's original shape.
If you want it to felt, you would have to use hot hot water and add a bit of
detergent.
You can't beat wool.
Brenda
