thought to have been around for about 8,000 years, felting is one of the oldest textile techniques in the world. hand-made felt is made by subjecting natural fibers (usually sheep or camel wool) to heat and moisture, and then rubbing the mass together by hand. soap is also commonly used to aid in the felting process. the primary mechanism of felting is abrasion. every strand of wool is covered by tiny scales, so when the individual fibers are rubbed together, the scales catch on each other, which causes the entire mass to shrink and mat. felt is unique in that it allows construction of textile objects without the use of thread. felt, which is a non-woven material, is often used for functional items such as hats, bags, shoes, vests, and decorative ropes. however, it is also used in textile art to create wall hangings, textile sculptures, carpets and interior design elements. felt is considered to be one of the most ecological textiles, and hand-made felt is said to radiate warmth and energy.

A textile fabric characterized by the entangled condition of many or all of its component fibres. Three classes of felt can be distinguished:(i) pressed felt (mechanical or sheet felt), which is formed from aweb or batt containing animal hair or wool, consolidated by the application of moisture, mechanical action and heat which cause the constituent fibres to mat together;(ii) woven or knitted felts formed from staple fibre fabrics having some wool or animal hair content. These are subjected to the processes identified in (i) to such a degree that the original fabric construction is completely obscured by the smooth felted surface; (iii) needlefelt.
Felt is a non-woven cloth that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibres. The fibres form the structure of the fabric, so it is very soft.
