Wool felt is an ecological, sustainable, and renewable material and due to its high quality has an innate durability and timelessness. FilzFelt sells 100% wool felt imported from Germany and aims to promote high quality design and permanence in its materials and products. Go sheep!
History
Even though the methods to produce wool felt have been refined over the centuries, the manufacturing principle and the basic raw material have remained unchanged. Sheep’s wool is cleaned, carded, and the fibers aligned into batts. It is then compacted and joined by moisture, heat, and agitation until a homogeneous fabric is formed – wool felt. The material is naturally moisture resistant, self-extinguishing, non-directional, available in lightfast and saliva-resistant colors, and provides thermal and acoustic insulation.
Eco-friendly, Sustainable, Green
Yes! All of the above. Wool felt is a natural product. A high standard of dye processes in Germany and contents of 100% wool make this product earth friendly. Recyclable too! Since wool felt is made of sheep’s wool and viscous staple fibers, this means that after the felt product has been used or become worn out, it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Colors
Most FilzFelt colors are matched to the Pantone Matching System (PMS). Our felt is produced from virgin wool and colors 100 Wollweiß, 150 Weiß, and 200 Natur are undyed and natural. Other colorways are produced by dyeing these natural felts with textile dyes to produce a uni-colored (solid) or melange (heathered) appearance.
Natural felts: 200, 150, 100
Uni-colored felts: 425, 423, 476, 626, 286, 284, 308, 378, 124, 173, 201, 242
Melange felts: 300, 385, 613, 713, 125, 102
Please note that the color on your screen may vary from the actual product. Minor changes and slight inclusions of natural fiber on the surface are evidence of 100% natural origin of the material.
Dye Lots
There may be slight variations in color between dye lots. Natural fibers have minor variations in structure which affect how much dye is absorbed and therefore we cannot guarantee exact color matching on all shipments. Please purchase a sufficient quantity of one dye lot to assure uniformity of color if necessary.
Product Info and Cleaning
Your FilzFelt product is made from 100% wool (not a wool blend) and therefore is not suitable for washer + dryer cleaning. If soiling should occur, please spot clean with warm soapy water or dry clean. Be careful not to saturate the felt with moisture as the milling process will continue and may result in a mishapen appearance.
