In order to maintain your felt kit looking it's best, we suggest before embellishing that you spray and iron your felt pieces with a spray starch. (we use and recommend Mary Ellen's Best Press) this is a good way to remove creases from packing and also to give the felt a little coating.
As felt is not woven and has fibres of unequal weight, it can sometimes pill when there is friction against it. By spraying this helps to keep this to a minimum.
Felt is a textile material that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made of natural fibers such as wool or animal fur, or from synthetic fibers such as petroleum-based acrylic or acrylonitrile or wood pulp-based rayon. Blended fibers are also common.
The process of Felting. The wet felting technique we use is a process of laying out combed or carded fibers of wool either in the ultimate shape for their use or as a sheet of fabric later to be sewn into a garment. Felting is using hot water, soap and agitation to change the raw fibers into a fabric.
