Knit hats?

[string]

I'm just curious. I've not really done a lot of felting

Felting can be fun - or a real disaster - but the general rule is that if you want a thicker felt you use larger needles so that there is more loose thread to mesh together.

I think that the most sucessful felted project I did was actually crochet work rather than knit - and it was a cashmere beret - which unfortunately the moths love to use as nests for their young, and I left it exposed on a shelf - all I found was the edging ribbon and cord and the stuff not altered into moths, the empty skins and cocoons.

I do have quite a bit of the yarn left, maybe I'll have another go if it hasn't all been eaten.

NOTE TO SELF: keep cashmere in the freezer.

A light felting can be very good - I had a natural wool jersey which was just slightly felted and it was excellent for the outdoors. It had closed up enough to be windproof, showerproof, but still light enough to be pleasant to wear.
