10m length herdwick wool felt roll for projects

Product description & details

This is a soft felt, 10mm thick, with hessian scrim in the centre. It's like a really nice 100% wool underlay. It's a versatile material suitable for a range of applications. It would be great to use in rug backings or felt art.

You can use it as pure wool underlay but be warned, it's only 50% moth proof as it's made from 50% ionic protect wool and 50% clean-but-untreated Herdwick wool. If you've tried our Snug Feet insoles, you'll know how great it is to walk around on pure wool. It's got a natural bounce and springiness about it. If you want 100% mothproof underlay we advise you to buy our Herdwick wool underlay that is 12mm thick and 100% moth-proofed with Ionic Protect.

Wool is sustainable so it's better for the environment than synthetic materials used for most felts. Plus it absorbs volatile compounds so it's better for the home.

Herdwick sheep run around the Lake District mountains all year round; they're about as wild as you can get for a domesticated animal. They produce a coarse, wiry wool that is a range of different shades from brown, dark grey, light grey, to white. All these colours are mixed into this product making it an attractive natural grey colour. You can read about how we source our wool here.

You know we hate waste here at Chimney Sheep, right?

We’ve mixed the offcuts from making our Chimney Sheep with Herdwick wool to create rolls of lovely 10mm thick Herdwick felt. It works as underlay but it’s just 50% moth-proofed. It’s perfect for projects, pet beds, wadding, backing for rugs….get in touch and tell us what you’re using it for, it’s a versatile material!

The felt is 1m wide and is 10mm thick.

Brilliant product and perfect for large scale needle felting

I love this company and what they produce and how they work. It's ethical, contributes to their local community and plants trees in their thousands. I love its values and I've not found anything that works better as a base for large scale needle felting than their felt. It's so reasonably priced and the hessian layer gives it strength to hold together. I just bought 4 metres as the base for a panel Im making. The underlay is strong and has real body, and is moth-proof, but is too hard to use for needle-felting and can break needles. If I was to suggest a new product it wold be moth-proof crafting felt.

Super

Though this would be perfect for sewing but found it too thick for what i wanted to do but a brilliant matting for blocking my crouchet pieces. Has im making persion tiles perfect for chair upholstery also would work for lining out vans and super at a fraction of cost of sythetic fleece

Fab!

Great product - I’m using it to insulate a loft hatch and my wife has snapped up the leftovers for mysterious purposes in the greenhouse. I should also mention the outstanding customer service - really above and beyond - and the speedy delivery.
Many thanks.

I took a gamble and ordered this to use in crafting projects, aiming to sell and fundraise. So far, made a bowl and a felted robin decoration. Besutiful, clean material and therefore great to work with. Happy Crafter 🧵

Just fantastic stuff with varying useful features 👌
