Featuring Franny Felt, famous felt
fanatic
BAAAAA and welcome to my fabulous fun-filled felt website. I know, I know. This is really
National Nonwovens' homepage, but Michalina was kind enough to share this section with me
in return for my expert advice on Franny's favorite felt fabrics. Not that she needs it.
Michalina, Tony, Christin, and everybody at National Nonwovens have been providing the
world with phenomenal felt longer than Little Bo Peep has been tending to my flock.
Although I am particularly fond of their natural WoolFelt® blends, I must admit, National
Nonwovens can sure make a smooooth and soft fabric with that FeltSoooSoft®. Oh, and
honey, when I see and feel FiestaFelt®, well I start bleating so much I can hardly
contain myself.
Fooling around with felt can sure be fun, but creating beautiful felt masterpieces is
serious stuff, and you can be very successful by using these Tips & Tricks: |
Boiled WoolFelt® Instructions - sherpa-like,
fleece-like felt in a wonderful natural fiber-blend
Creating fleece-like felt is fun and easy. This Sherpa look is perfect for wearables,
decorative accessories, and stuffed animals. Sherpa-like textures are made with National
Nonwovens' WCF001 or TOY002 WoolFelt® fabrics.
Instructions: |
 |
|
1. Wet National
Nonwovens' WCF001 or TOY002 WoolFelt®
completely in a sink or basin. Do not rub or agitate. Wet each color
separately (some dye may be released into the water - this is
normal).
2. Squeeze by hand to remove as much water as possible. Avoid
wringing as it may stretch the material.
3. Place in a standard tumble clothes dryer on regular setting until
WoolFelt® is nearly dry (approximately 35 minutes). Do not over
dry. Dry light colors separately from darker colors. Colors may
change slightly during drying process.
4. Lay flat to dry completely, smoothing fabric gently by hand. Large
wrinkles may be removed by using a light steam iron held just above
the surface of the fabric. Return felt to its original form by pressing
with a steam iron.
Results may vary. Because WoolFelt® contains 20% wool
in WCF001 and 35%
wool in TOY002, some shrinkage will occur during this process. Across a 36"
wide swatch, there may be a loss of 2-4 inches. In length, the fabric may lose 3-5
inches per yard. To avoid future shrinkage upon completion, dry cleaning is
recommended. |

Companion Pricing Program
National Nonwovens does more than just SAY they care about their customers,
they PROVE their commitment with their Companion Pricing Program. Customers
can couple products together and receive a more favorable pricing structure when
purchasing multiple products.
Here's how it works. Normally, when buying large volumes of one of National
Nonwovens' companion products, the price break is according to the quantity
purchased. With the Companion Pricing Program, the price of the companion
product, within its own pricing category, will fall into the same price tier of the
larger volume purchase. Customers are invited to pick and choose between both
bolts and squares.
