When i have learned how to make a traditional wet felt from wool I became so exited. It seemed for me as a magical process, although this is a simple, but very old method.
Humans making felt since thousands of years. Because felt is not woven and does not require a loom, it is quite simple method to make it and probably the earliest way to make fabric.
If you want to make felt, you need sheep wool, warm water, soap and your hands.
Nomadic people were using this method to make non woven fabric things for they life, for example tents, blankets, carpets, hats, bags and so many other things.
Merino wool and alpaca wool are the finest material to use.
