Felt-making

felting

Felt is an ancient, non-woven form of cloth usually made from sheep’s wool. One of the oldest methods for making felt is through wet-felting. Wet-felting is the process of creating wool felt using water and friction. This causes the fibers to entangle and create a woolen textile. Felted wool clothes are great for keeping warm and dry and for being silent in the wilderness.
