Archaeological finds from Anatolia show that felt is anything but a modern material, with evidence of its use dating back to the 6th millennium BC, when people began to domesticate sheep. Felting is therefore one of the oldest textile processing techniques known to mankind.
The main characteristic of wool felt is that the sheep's hair grows back. Wool felt is therefore an ecological and sustainable product that is biodegradable and recyclable.
In the modern world, natural felt has become indispensable thanks to its diverse properties (temperature and ageing resistant, insulating, climatising, resistant, dirt-repellent, elastic, damping, etc.) and applications (acoustics, design, architecture, furniture, clothing, etc.). Wool felt also has good hygroscopic properties, which means that felt is able to absorb and release humidity and water vapour from the ambient air. In addition, the ability to absorb and release liquids is another advantage of this extraordinary natural product.
