This is fantastic quality 100% pure wool felt made in Europe. It is thick (3-4mm) and pretty sturdy stuff - making it perfect for sewing cases for ipads, kindles, bags, wallets, shoes, boxes etc.
Our 100% wool felt meets European Toy Standards and carries the Oeko-Tex ‘confidence in textiles’ mark, so it contains no nasty chemicals, including heavy metals.
Size: 1cmx1cm pieces.
100% merino wool felt is super soft but is much stronger than the synthetic felts, which means your creations will last and last, without going bobbly and shiny. This felt cuts beautifully and works well in die cutting machines. It’s great to sew with, either by hand or with a machine.
Our 100% wool felt meets European Toy Standards EN71 parts 2 and 3 and carries the Oeko-Tex ‘confidence in textiles’ mark, so it contains no nasty chemicals, including heavy metals, making it perfect for toy making.
The felt is:-
Produced in China
It is dyed with non-toxic and heavy metal-free dyes which satisfy the EN 71, art. 1, 2 and 3 guidelines
Safe for children and can be used in children’s toys

It can shrink just slightly, but usually no more than 5%.
Can be ironed using an average warm temperature
Felt is a man-made fabric, created from natural fibres. Most man-made fabrics are generally woven; however, felt differs in this sense. So, what is felt exactly? A Felted fabric is created from fibres being compressed and matted, often pressed together using heat, moisture and a lot of pressure. It can take a large amount of work, but the result is a very dense fabric consisting of permanently interlocked fibres.
Felt is typically composed of wool or other natural raw materials, which generally produces the highest quality and softest fabric. Wool also matts very easily, making it ideal for this fuzzy fabric. However, adding synthetic fibres into the mix (such as polyester or acrylic) can improve the product depending on its intended use. Adding a percentage of synthetic fibres can increase felts durability for certain crafts or industrial use, and can also increase pliability. A common fibre sometimes added to wool is rayon, which when added removes the prickly feeling that pure wool can often have against the skin. Meaning that a synthetic mix is the best of both worlds!
As mentioned, the process of creating felt can be pretty labour intensive, involving various steps of blending the fibres, matting the material, shrinking and steam-pressing. However, the most straightforward method is simply to apply heat and moisture which causes the mix of fibres to merge and blend together. You can even do this yourself at home to any wool or knitted products – pop it in the washing machine for a process known as ‘felting’ or ‘fulling’ – the same thing that happens when you accidentally shrink that woollen jumper!
In the case of needed felt, a blend of wool and synthetic fibres, or 100% wool, are again interlocked but this time by a machine rather than naturally. Machines that contain thousands of needles interlock the fibres to produce this softer, less dense type of felt fabric which is often used for crafts or cushioning.
