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, Paul, Sandy, Gwen, Don, 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.

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 urchase. Customers are invited to pick and choose between both bolts and squares.

National Nonwovens has conveniently companioned the following product lines:

  • CHNFelt and Athletic Letter Backing (LTR)
  • FiestaFelt®, FeltSoooSoft® and WoolFelt®
  • CHNFelt, FiestaFelt®, FeltSoooSoft®, WoolFelt®, and Athletic Letter
