Zara is merino which means it definitely will felt. The only way you will be able to decide for yourself if you like how it felts is to do a swatch.

I don't think so - it's superwash.

I stand corrected! Kelly B is right. I just checked Zara out on Yarndex and it is now machine washable. The Zara I have in my stash is from when it most definitely was NOT super wash.
