Felt is a fabric made from wool. The fibres themselves make up the fabric. There is no yarn involved when making felt, unlike weaving, knitting etc. To make felt you need wool fleece, water and agitation. The fibres on the wool have small scales on the outside surface. When the wool is watered down the scales open up. When the fibres are rubbed together, the opened scales close and get interlockedFelting is one of the oldest textile forms. It is thought to have originated in Asia. There are still some original pieces of felting that were found in central Asia. Some of them are 5000 years old. Felt was used for hats, wall coverings, boots, blankets, yurts and many more things.
