answer:

HOW FELT IS USED??

It is made by compressing and matting fibres together until they connect to form a sturdy fabric. Felt has been used in many cultures as a material for clothing, footwear, rugs and even tents. The distinctive yurt was traditionally made from felt. Today, felt is used in many craft projects.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF FELTING WOOL??

Felting is a simple process of separating, tangling, and relocking animal fibers found in items such as yarn or wool. Felting begins through the agitation of the animal fibers; these fibers are lined with tiny scales which interlock and keep the fibers' shape.

WHAT FIBERS CAN BE FELTED??

Felt is a textile material that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made of natural fibers such as wool or animal fur, or from synthetic fibers such as petroleum-based acrylic or acrylonitrile or wood pulp-based rayon.

WHAT TYPE OF WOOL IS BEST FOR FELTING??

These dyed fibers come in standard merino which is very popular for felting artists and spinning. The best wool roving for felting is Carded Corriedale Wool Roving. Corriedale is a medium coarse wool with 3-4 inch staple length and is more reasonably priced than Merino.

answer:

Felt is a non woven textile. It is made by compressing and matting fibres together until they connect to form a sturdy fabric. Felt has a long history and is the oldest form of cloth known. Felt has been used in many cultures as a material for clothing, footwear, rugs and even tents. The distinctive yurt was traditionally made from felt.

Today, felt is used in many craft projects. One of the reasons behind the renewed popularity of felt for use in crafts is its sheer versatility. Felt ranges from pieces of commercially manufactured felt that are made from manmade fibres that are economical to buy, through to handmade felt that uses the finest animal fibres.

Felt in Kids' Crafts

Commercially produced felt pieces are ideal for using in children's craft projects. Unlike woven fabric, felt will not fray or unravel. As such, it is a great fabric for children to learn to sew with. Felt can be cut with normal craft scissors. Felt is also a popular material for making handcrafted products such as bags, hats and other accessories. Hand made felt is often used for these projects, this helps to produce items that are very different from shop bought items. Textile artists also use felt in their art. Felt is a good surface to embroider and adorn with embellishments. Wool felt is also easy to dye with acid dyes.
