Choose the Right Wool Felt Fabric When Buying Designer Hats Felt is a non-woven fabric made from woolen fibers or synthetic fibers with umpteen uses, especially suitable for designer hats that one can buy online or make them at home. The key is to get the right type of felt from the right online store. Felt is a wonderful material. It is one of the oldest types of non-woven fabric with dozens of uses. Wool felt is undoubtedly the most popular but today one can get felt made with synthetic fibers. The process of making the fabric gives it the name “felt”. Felt and how it is made Felt fabric is typically made with wool but synthetic felt using synthetic fibers is also available these days. The process involves layering the fibers together with some adhesive materials and then applying high pressure. The fibers lock together and the result is a non-woven fabric that is thick, strong, durable and suited for a variety of purposes.
Woolen felt material was and is used for making hats and even shoes. It is used for industrial purposes, to make rugs and as insulation material. Wool felt fabric differs from felted wool in that the latter is processed with heat drying to shrink the fibers and thicken the texture, making it more soft and suitable for use in decorative materials as well as toy. Another variety of felt is needle felt made by using barbed hooks to tangle the fibers and create shapes. Uses of wool felt fabric Wool felt is versatile and holds up very well against synthetic felt made with acrylic fibers. Felt is available in a range of thicknesses and it can be put to a variety of uses. Felt is a popular non-woven fabric for use in soft toys and crafts. It is also perfect for industrial use such as insulation and padding where thicker felts are used. Thinner but stronger felts that retain their shape are perfect for use in making designer hats. Felt has an advantage over fabric
in that it will hold its shape very well and the edges will not fray. Felts have been used to make coats and jackets to protect against the cold. Thinner and luxurious wool felts can be used for upholstery. Buying the right wool felt designer hat Walk into any store that sells designer hats and you will find wool felt designer hats on display. Prices vary depending on the material used and the intricacy of the design. Choosing a designer hat made of 100% pure wool is important because of the physical properties of natural wool. It keeps you warm and comfortable and it also breathes. Wool does not deform or go out of shape easily, which is an important consider for designer headgear. Acrylic felts or felts made with jute or synthetic materials may not have the same feel, warmth of look to them as the genuine woolen felt. You may be tempted to buy a cheap wool felt hat but it could be made from craft felt that is mostly acrylic or polyester or a blend of rayon and viscose. You may find an attractive designer hat on display but it could well be made of polyester fiber made from recycled plastic bottles. Polyester felt is stiffer and it may not feel comfortable but it can be available in a variety of hues. A cheap felt hat may even be made of felt made from bamboo and rayon fibers. It is eco- friendly, no doubt but certainly not as comfortable as wool. Ask the shop attendant for genuine wool felt designer hat and you may be offered a hat that is actually made from a blend of wool and rayon fibers. This type of blend does have advantages such as a soft and luxurious feel along with warmth. 100% wool felt is more expensive and the type used in making designer hats has a thickness of about 1.2mm. There is a springy feel
and a luxurious look to genuine wool felts. The colors also look richer and deeper when the material is genuine wool. Genuine 100% wool felt will retain its color and texture over a longer period and if you live in areas where it is cold then you will find this material is best to give protection and for looks as well.
