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 even and consistent. Moreover, the loosened wool creates ideal conditions for subsequent steps such as carding, combing, and blending. Through this entire process, we can transform seemingly chaotic raw wool into high-quality finished felt products.
