Felt

Felt describes a textile that obtains its structure by preparing fibers that are difficult to separate rather than by a classic weaving. This manufacturing process was already used in the Neolithic Age.

In traditional wet felting, wool and animal hair are processed with warm steam and soap, whereby the upper scale layer of the individual hairs erects and wedges itself together.

Felt is characterized by its elasticity and resistance. It is able to adapt to the contours of the body with the help of pressure and body temperature, as well as effectively insulate against cold and heat. Felt can effectively absorb and release moisture.
