FELTING:
Place the Santa in the washing machine with a detergent without enzymes and optical bleach. Wash at 40 degrees with normal spin but no pre-wash. After wash shape the Santa to the right measurements while still wet and leave to dry flat. At subsequent wash, wash the Santa at regular wool programme. When the Santa has dried, pull it on a roll of toilet paper so that it stands by itself.
