Definition: A cloth or stuff made of matted fibres of wool, or wool and fur, fulled or wrought into a compact substance by rolling and pressure, with lees or size, without spinning or weaving.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is quite detailed, isn't it? Let’s break it down piece by piece, so you understand what “felt” really means. Essentially, “felt” is a material – a fabric if you will – that comes from wool or fur. Think of sheep’s wool, fluffy and free, or the soft underbelly of a furry bee! Now, here's the key part: fulled and wrought . This means we’re taking that raw wool (or fur) and working with it. We don't spin it into thread like you do for cloth, or weave it in patterns neat. Instead, we roll it up tight – a really tight squeeze! – and apply pressure. Then we add something called “lees” or “size.” Think of "lees" as a little bit of help to stick the fibers together, like glue for wool, you see? This process compacts the wool, makes it dense and firm – a solid, felted form. So, in simple terms: felt is made by squeezing and pressing wool (or fur) until it’s tightly packed and smooth. Does that make sense? Are there any questions about how we transform fluffy fibers into this sturdy material? Don't be shy – let’s discuss!
