Felting
The rubbing together of fiber using
soap, heat & agitation. A process by which a batt of
fibers is converted to a consolidated layer of
fibers, by developing a very high level of fiber
entanglement. The felting of animal fibers,
especially wool is achieved by vigorous mechanical
action in a damp environment.
We offer two different types of
felt. Raw pack felt and garment felt.
The "raw pack felt" is done by washing, picking and
felting, this provides a textured look. Some
common uses for this felt are boot liners, dog beds,
weed barriers, rugs, etc.
With "garment Felt"
we wash, pick, card into a batt, then place the
fiber onto the felting frame. This produces a
uniform and smooth look to the felt. The most
common uses for this felt are cut and sew projects,
inserts for knitting, patch work projects, etc.

Blending of
Different Fibers
It's a simple step for you to create
unique and exotic blends with your fibers. The
different textures offered by combining fibers
allows you the chance to experiment with an endless
number of combinations. Please keep in mind
that not all fiber blends will complement your main
fiber. When in doubt, please call.
We do not charge for blending when
you use our fiber, only the cost of the additional
fiber and its processing. If you send us fiber
to be blended with your order, please add $2.00 per
pound for processing.
