Needle Felter

Needle-felted nonwoven cloth has many uses in crafting, and is growing in popularity--one use is as a lightweight wool quilt batt, suitable for clothing, accessories, and decorative items as well as traditional quilts. We can build felters in 32- or 60-inch widths. Our machine will felt pieces of any length, using batts straight from the carding machine. Felting of one batt from the carding machine takes about three minutes.
