felt-making
Fiber matting craft
Felt-making is the craft of producing felt—a textile created by matting, condensing, and pressing fibers together rather than weaving them.
The process typically involves wool or animal hair, worked with moisture, heat, and agitation until the fibers interlock permanently.
One of humanity's oldest textile arts, felt-making predates spinning and weaving.
