What Is Felt Used For?

Understanding the Basics of Felt

Felt is a non-woven fabric made from fibers that are interlocked and matted together through a process called felting. It is known for its soft texture, durability, and ability to retain its shape. Felt is made by subjecting fibers, typically wool, to heat, moisture, and pressure, causing the fibers to bind together.

The Composition of Felt

Traditionally, felt is made from natural fibers, such as wool. The structure of felt is formed by the scales on the surface of the wool fibers interlocking with each other during the felting process. This natural composition gives felt its unique characteristics, including its insulating properties and resistance to fire.

The History of Felt

Felt has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. It is believed to have been first made by the ancient nomadic tribes, who discovered that the wool from their sheep could be converted into felt through a simple process of agitation and moisture. Over time, felt became widely used by various civilizations for clothing, shelter, and other practical purposes.
