Is Wool Felt 100% Wool?
[Intro]
“Hi everyone! Today we’re diving into a question we often hear in the crafting world: Is wool felt necessarily 100% wool? And more importantly — what does that mean for the felt you buy, especially from a trusted source like yours, I Love Felt.
We’ll unpack the definitions, how felt is made, what to watch out for, and then how your company’s claim stacks up.”
[Section 1: What is “felt” and what is “wool felt”?]
-
First, the term felt describes a non-woven textile: fibers are matted, condensed and pressed (often with heat, moisture and agitation) rather than being knit or woven.
-
Wool felt specifically refers to felt made from wool fibers (or majorly wool) instead of synthetic fibers. For example, pure wool felt has desirable properties: durability, good cutting/sewing behavior, natural insulation. That said, in practice, wool felt in the marketplace doesn’t always mean “100% wool”. Some felts are wool blends (wool mixed with synthetic fibers like polyester, rayon, acrylic). For example: “Wool felt blends … with a combination of wool fibres and those from another material.”
-
So the short answer: No, “wool felt” by itself does not automatically guarantee 100% wool — you have to check the fiber content.
[Section 2: Why does it matter if it’s 100% wool?]
-
Quality & performance: Many sources say 100% wool felt is stronger, cuts more cleanly, resists pilling, has a different feel and longevity compared to blended felts.
-
Natural fibre benefits: Wool is biodegradable, breathable, has better moisture management, natural flame resistance, etc. Pure wool felt inherits these.
-
Crafting / suitability: For certain crafts (toy-making, high end accessories, heirloom pieces), having full wool content can be a premium attribute.
-
Transparency / labeling: Because blends exist, being clear about “100% wool” is a mark of trust and premium quality.
[Section 3: What your website claims & how it fits]
-
On the website of I Love Felt, you state: “We use 100% Spain wool to make with eco and friendly material, all nature.” This indicates that your felt is made entirely from wool sourced in Spain, and uses environmentally friendly/natural materials.
-
This is a strong claim: it says yes — you assert your felt is 100% wool (i.e., no synthetic fibre blend).
-
That means when a customer buys your felt, they’re getting the full benefit of a pure wool felt: all wool fibres, natural, eco-friendly, etc.
-
From a trust standpoint: Because many felts on the market might be wool blended or partly synthetic, your claim helps differentiate your product.
-
It’s good to highlight a few things for customers:
-
Confirm fiber content (i.e., “100% wool”) in product specs / labels.
-
Possibly mention any certifications (e.g., organic wool, mulesing free, etc) if you have them.
-
Describe how the wool is processed (felted) in your production so customers understand what they’re getting.
-
[Section 4: What to check or ask when buying wool felt]
Here are some tips (which you may also share with your audience/customers) to verify or understand claims:
-
Check the label: Does it say “100% wool” or “wool blend”?
-
Ask about the sourcing: Which country is the wool from? Is it Spanish wool as you claim?
-
Feel and look: 100% wool felt tends to have certain properties: firmer structure, less fraying when you cut edges, richer texture.
-
Certification or testing: Some high-end suppliers test for toy safety standard, for free-molesting, for chemical-free dyes. For example one supplier states their 100% wool felt is manufactured in Europe and meets toy standards.
-
Be aware that “felt” by itself might be synthetic or a blend. Many craft-store felts are acrylic or wool blends. So “wool felt” doesn’t automatically mean “100% wool”.
[Section 5: Conclusion & your brand promise]
So to summaries:
-
“Wool felt” can mean a variety of things; it might be 100% wool or a wool blend.
-
When you say “100% wool felt”, you’re specifying a higher standard: no synthetic fiber mixed in; pure wool.
-
Your company’s claim “We use 100% Spain wool … all nature” aligns with that premium standard. That means you are delivering felt that is fully wool and crafted in an eco-friendly way — a strong value proposition.
-
For customers: if they want “true wool felt” (for durability, natural fiber, premium feel), your product is positioned well.
-
In your communications (website, labels, product pages) it’s beneficial to remind the customer of what “100% Spain wool” means in practical terms: durability, natural origin, sustainable materials, and how that difference matters compared to typical felt blends.
[Outro]
“Thanks for watching! If you’re choosing felt for crafts, art, décor or accessories, be sure to check the fiber content. And if you’re looking for a 100% wool option, you now know what questions to ask. If you’d like a tailored guide to how to care for wool felt, or how to choose between different thicknesses, I’d be happy to do that too — just let me know. Until next time, happy crafting!”
