Felt is a fabric material made by matting, condensing, and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made from natural materials such as wool or animal fur or it can be made using synthetic materials such as rayon or acrylic. Felt is fire retardant and self-extinguishing. It absorbs sound, dampens vibration, and can hold a large volume of water without feeling wet.

Let’s check out some of the popular products that can be made from felt.

Felt Balls:

Felt balls, also known as felted wool balls, are soft, colorful, and smooth. They can be crafted by rolling a wisp of wool into a blob, dipping it in hot soapy water, and then shaping the ball using hands. These balls can be used to make accessories or give them away as gifts.

Felt Ball Rugs:

Felt ball rugs are handcrafted from thousands of balls of pure wool felt. They're stitched together tightly, so both sides of the rug can be used. The products can be customized according to your preferences.

Felt Bags:

Felt bags are gaining in popularity because they can be customized in countless ways. Customers can choose their bag’s color, size, and style as per their liking. Felt bags can be made into felt shopping bags, flower purses, handbags, and evening bags.

Felt scarf:

Felt scarves are light and soft to the touch. They should be gently washed by hand using a wool-friendly detergent, rinsed, and dried flat on a towel. They should not be put in a dryer but instead ironed after they have been dried.

Felt slipper:

Felted wool slippers are cozy, breathable, and comfortable. They are also naturally resistant to dirt and moisture, plus they eliminate odors because of the lanolin in the wool. Lanolin promotes healing, so it is gentle on sensitive skin, and friction from the wool against your skin boosts blood flow.

Felt Purse:

Felt purses can be used as an inexpensive alternative to leather bags, and the dye in them won't rub onto your bag liners. They are also easy to customize.

Felt Dryer Balls:

Felt dryer balls are a good substitute for fabric softener or dryer sheets. Wool absorbs moisture better than cotton, allowing hot air to circulate more evenly and efficiently, reducing drying time by 10 to 25%.
