After the felt products are finished, they all appear in shades of dark gray. Considering this, it’s natural to assume that the raw materials for felt would also be this color. But how exactly do these raw materials transform into the finished felt products we see today? Through insights provided by the manufacturer’s staff, we’ve learned that using large blocks of raw wool directly in the felt-making process can negatively affect the quality of the final product. To address this, the raw wool must first be loosened into smaller, more dispersed pieces. During this loosening process, 15% to 30% of sand and other impurities are removed from the wool fibers. The loosened wool becomes much looser and easier to dry after washing, ensuring that the subsequent drying process is more uniform. Furthermore, the loosened wool creates ideal conditions for subsequent steps such as carding, combing, and blending. Through this entire process, we’re able to transform the initially messy raw wool into high-quality finished felt products.

Based on the insights provided by the manufacturer’s staff, we can understand that: First, using large blocks of raw wool directly in the production of felt has an impact on the quality of the felt. To address this, the large blocks of raw wool must first be loosened into smaller, loosely arranged pieces. At the same time as loosening, 15-30% of sand and other impurities are removed from the wool fibers. The loosened raw wool is more loosely structured, which facilitates easier drying after washing and ensures more uniform drying during subsequent processing steps. Furthermore, the loosened wool creates ideal conditions for subsequent processes such as carding, combing, and blending.
Through such a process, we can transform raw, messy felt materials into high-quality finished felt products.
