Let\u2019s talk about the felt fabric uses! From clothing and decoration to toys, felt is pretty much everywhere! Felt has the most interesting history, as the fabric has many origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One says that felt came from Asia about 5000 years ago, while another says that it came from the Middle Ages when nomads used it for comfort and warmth in shoes. And we still use it for this purpose to this day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our modern day, felt has a variety of functions. Let\u2019s learn about the different uses of felt.<\/p>\n\n\n
Felt is a shiny fabric and has lots of textile fibers<\/a>. The raw material for this amazing fabric is usually wool or another type of fur from an animal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the old-fashioned way of making felt, but now it can even include materials such as rayon and acrylic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wool felt is flame-retardant<\/a>, so flames cannot survive on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This property makes it perfect for making clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Felt also possesses other qualities, which include absorbent, moisture-wicking, and sound-dampening (reduces noise). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Manufacturers make felt without weaving or knitting. They make it by applying water, heat and pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manufacturers would usually include natural or synthetic fibers in the process to make matted felt fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, they cut and shape the felt to make whatever you want, such as hats, boot liners, and crafting<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually, they use wool to make felt but remember that these fabrics are different<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wool felt is popular, but throwing in other synthetic fibers, such as polyester, can improve the felt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This depends on what you\u2019re using it for. The felt will have more flexibility and durability, making it suitable for certain uses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, adding rayon removes the itchy feeling on the skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
