I have just begun to felt wool. My question is cant polyester fiberfill be used as a base to build on, instead of wool?

I have used polyester as a in felting before; On its own it looks good and gives the piece a nice fuzzy quality that looks good on white animal projects, but wool doesn't stick to is very well and therefore winds up requiring a lot more work getting your main colors to stick to it. This bag of wool is AWESOME. I have made nearly 30 small-medium projects out of it over the last few months and still have an ample supply. Trust me the ease of felting it and how far it goes makes it completely worth the price

The fiber is wool like but it didn't indicate if it was or not. It isn't itchy like wool at all

I would treat it the same as nylon and polyester fill. a quick search in an ROTC pfd files says to hand wah in mild soap, do not boil or dry clean.http://www.unl.edu/armyrotc/HandbookChapters/Chapter8.pdf Page 48

Not familiar with fur-felt. I used this on an older ski coat and it has worked fine.

It is washable and a little lofty. It shouldn't felt. I would suggest natural boiled wool that you can buy by the yard, that is what my daughter & I made into nursing pads for her. Holy Lamb organics or something like that was the name of the place in Eastern Washington.

i soaked fabric until sulky was lifting off, and then worked it out of the tight areas. I'd be concerned about the felt. YOu for sure would have to dry and block the faces after soaking them!

I tried it on a piece of regular fabric and it didn't work so it probably won't on felt

I'm using this for wool/cashmere sweaters with no problem,however,after I did,I put the sweaters under the shade to dry out.Because I don't like the smell of the product. Don't try to rub the spot off.It makes more worth with oil that's contained in this product.I use Woolite just for very light dirty clothes.

Hello Mira, Thanks for your interest in our products. As principle, we, at Bio Sleep Concept are using only "All Natural" and "Organic" components for our final products. In the case of the 3" Wool Topper, the cover is made out of 100% certified organic cotton cover, filled with Eco Valley pure wool. There is no spray of any kind on any of our products. What may happen, as the wool is totally pure and natural, is that the first few days after receiving the topper, you may smell the wool. This odor disappears very quickly. We receive the batch of wool from our North West growers and we card it in our shop. If the wool is very fresh, the smell may be more obvious for a small while. To finish, all of our products are chemical free and are never sprayed of anything. Please, do not hesitate to contact us for any more questions on our products. Sincerely, CM

I hang my cotton and or polyester pants on them and they haven't shown creases. My husband doesn't use them for his so I wouldn't know about wool pants.

I really don't know. I bought it a couple of years ago for my granddaughter in college. You could always put felt on the bottom.

Poly fiber fill on outside. And a soft material for the clothing . Thinking of buying another one as a spare when the first is In the washer.

I'm sure you can, but it is pretty stiff. You may want to rethink your plan. You can buy felt at the craft store a lot cheaper and easier to conform to your jewelry box.

Very much like quilt polyester batting..You can pull out it out by handfuls..so far it is retaining its shape.It's about 8 inches thick haven't had it long enough to see if it compresses over time. If it's too thick, you can pull some out.

I think it is wool felt, it's definitely much better quality than regular felt, but nothing too fancy.

Yes, we have one on polystyrene with a wool sweater and it's great. It's in a little shelter outside (like a dog house) and the half-feral cat who lives there loves it! No problems at all. It doesn't get too hot. It's on a timer to go on in the evening and off in the a.m., unless it's really cold. A very good and very helpful product.

I don't see why not. However, you better contact someone who prints shirts to see if you can print on polyester.
