Felts  - Group 1 to 8 inclusive

Do you think that working with wool is just for old ladies? Certainly not!
Discover the Textile Museum get to work with wool yourself!

In the TextileLab, where people are hard at work, you get a guide tour of the most modern textile machines.
In addition you get to know about felts: using soapy water, heat and friction, wool can be turned into felt. This happens because the woollen fibre’s scales bond together. The most important requirements in the workshop are also hot water, soap and friction! You can try it out yourself with carded wool of various colours.
