Whoops. My last question fell under, textiles/immigration :)

Is this just felt? Or are there subtypes of felt?

Thanks in advance.

Michiko,

Thank you for the help with the question. I had no idea where to look. I guess I'm not much for handicrafts :)

Cheers,
Ben

agree  Minoru Kuwahara: i guess that would go. OR just felt wool possibly?; order of hits: felted, felt, felting, from which there's probably no big difference... -

  -> Thank you for your input. Yes, possible, however, all I've found were"felting wool" and "felted wool", so I have to let the asker be the judge.

Explanation:
We used to purchase the square cut felt sheet from Craft shops, but recently, they sell the フェルト原毛(like thread). It is the raw material, from then, you can make your own felt. (You can enjoy more valiation that way). please see the pic.
