What is "felting"?
Felting is a process of creating fabric by matting, compressing, and entangling fibers together using heat, moisture, and pressure. This technique involves rubbing or rolling wool or other animal fibers to interlock the fibers into a solid, cohesive material. Felting can be done by hand or using a machine and is used to make a variety of items, including hats, scarves, and decorative pieces. The result is a dense, durable fabric that is warm and often has a unique texture.
