| Felt is an abrasively matted textile product made mainly from wool.
It is created when heat and moisture are introduced to the raw wool
and high pressure is applied over a period of time. This is commonly
referred to as pressed felt. It can be found in sheet or roll form
in a myriad of thickness, widths, hardness, densities, and colours.
There are also a wide variety of felt materials, in addition to wool,
such as chemical fibre, heat resistant, needle, resin-treated, and
molded. Felt can be divided broadly by the way it is made into the
three categories of (1) non-woven (manufactured without weaving);
(2) woven felt; and (3) molded felt, wherein resin is used in its production. |
