Read about our 115-year history of manufacturing felt in the USA

Our company has an extensive history going back over a century. We began in 1905 as National Felt Co., initially manufacturing wool felt primarily for apparel and home furnishings. Over the decades much has changed, but our dedication to our customers has stayed the same.

Our History page takes you through the journey of how we made important contributions to the country and Americana culture. For example, read about how National Felt was a key military supplier during WWI. Two decades later in 1934, National Felt expanded to create Commonwealth Felt Co. This business unit became the converting division for the company.

Wool felt’s popularity surged during the 1950s. As a result Commonwealth Felt started selling directedly to consumers to keep up with demand. During this time wool felt was featured prominently in magazines and sewing patterns. Homemade heirloom holiday wool felt crafts were found in almost every household. Many were also wearing wool felt as it became popular for the poodle skirts of the era.

It took almost 90 years for Commonwealth Felt to get to where it is today. We are delighted to have this legacy division once again selling directly to consumers.

New WoolFelt® Colors (left to right): Morning Air, Blissful Lavender, Pink Sweetness, Serene Green, Euphoric Gold, Soothing Aloe, and Outdoor Retreat

Introducing the new 2020 WoolFelt® Tranquility Collection.

The seven new wool-blend felt colors reflect on our appreciation for the serene moments, when all the stress drifts away. The new WoolFelt® colors are incredibly special this year. They are special in part because of the extraordinary circumstance due the coronavirus. We have a renewed sense of gratitude. We are especially grateful National Nonwovens stayed in operation during this past spring and summer to continue serving our customers.

A Rare Summer Introduction

National Nonwovens’ efforts this past spring were focused on developing materials to support the efforts in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Our concentration focused on developing and manufacturing textiles to help support the efforts to fight the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, our new WoolFelt® colors – which are normally introduced in May each year – were delayed.

Contact National Nonwovens’ Customer Service Department to receive a color card and to place your order.

A Felt Legacy Lasting over a Century

Do you want more information about our felt products along with company and industry news? Then go in-depth with the FeltNews quarterly newsletter.

National Nonwovens, under the name National Felt, originally produced felted wool beginning in 1905 for apparel and wartime products. Later, the company’s WoolFelt® was the fabric in the popular poodle skirts of the 1950’s. In the 1980’s, WoolFelt® once again became popular as consumers sought a natural felt for soft sculpture collectibles and holiday projects. Today, National Nonwovens’ trademarked WoolFelt® has emerged as the fabric of choice for heritage quilts, soft sculpture, and modern decor.
