About Felt products

Felt is a mass of matted raw lamb’s wool. Imported from New Zealand & Tibet, this raw wool is first carded & then dyed into different colors as desired in different forms for the final product. The type of dye usually used is Swiss dye. Felt products are purely made by shaping the raw wool with soap & water & human h& pressure; no chemicals are used during this process. Thus shaped product is dried under the sun. Due to its unique manufacturing process, any desired shape can be created. From the felt we can make various designs of felt bags,handmade felt shoes, felt balls, felt sheets, felt hats, felt pupptes, & felt accessories felt flowers, felt necklace, felt ear rings, felt bangles, wool slippers, felt purses, felt flowers, felt hair bands, felt key chains & other felt products.

Felt is a fabric made of compressed matted animal fibers. The raw materials (lamb wool) are imported from New Zealand, which is considered as A-grade wool in the world. At the very beginning we do carding then dye it in various colors. Such dyeing can be done by both hand and machine but machine dyeing is more practical for fast color. Upon completion of the coloring process our skilled labors, mostly the women workers start compress the raw material with the help of washing soap & hot water by hand. We never use any kind of chemical or machine to make the product; hence felt products are 100% hand made. As far the making process, there will be a pattern for the product to be produced and that pattern is the only the basement of the ready product, there will not be any use of sewing or patching but rubbing and washing with hot water by bare hands makes the product well jammed and looks the actual shape. While bringing the product in the right shape; we put it to dry in the sunlight, which is the only way to dry the product that will be wet while making. After drying the main product, some extra works such as gluing and sewing will also be requires as per the design.
