A brief history of felt making

Felting is one of the oldest textile forms. It is thought to have originated in Asia. There are still some original pieces of felting that were found in central Asia. Some of them are 5000 years old. Felt was used for hats, wall coverings, boots, blankets, yurts and many more things.
