Felt is one of those materials loved by creators of children's items, craft makers, and interior design enthusiasts. It is grateful to work with, easy to process, and allows you to realize a wide range of creative ideas.
What is felt?
Felt is a non-woven textile material obtained by compressing fibers under the influence of heat, moisture, and pressure. Unlike woven fabrics, felt has no visible thread crossings — it is dense, even, and does not fray.
That's exactly why felt is so rewarding to work with:
-
edges do not need finishing,
-
it can be easily cut with scissors or a knife,
-
it holds shape well,
-
it is also suitable for beginners.
