feltings
Matted fiber textile products
Feltings is the plural of felting, which refers to pieces of felt fabric or the process of making felt by matting fibers together through heat, moisture, and pressure.
In craft contexts, feltings often means individual felted creations: She displayed her feltings at the craft fair.
The term also covers instances of the felting process itself.
