Felt and Baize

At Calico Laine, we offer only the highest quality of felt and baize at the most competitive prices around. Felt is one of the oldest fabrics known to man. Making felt involves the process of matting and melding woollen fibres together, weaving techniques aren't needed. Felt is a very hardy material that can be used in many ways, without losing any of its properties. Felt has a homogenous structure that is sturdy enough to witness heavy industrial factors, over extended periods of time. Felt does not fray or unravel, despite the amount of wear and tear that it is put under, this is why it is used in such abundance within industry. Felt is very absorbent, and shows no signs of any wear, it is very adaptable as a fabric, with its uses ranging from childrens toys, clothing and industrial strength materials; felt is as popular now, as it has ever been. Baize is a variety of felt, at a much greater quality than the industrial variety. Baize is finer, softer to touch and generally better quality than felt.
