This sturdy recycled textile felt has numerous versatile applications that support everyday use at home and artistic inspiration.

⁃ Soft felt protects other surfaces as a drawer liner or shelf cover, as a placemat on the table, or even as a seat cover in the sauna.

⁃ Felt is an excellent acoustic material that can be used for many projects that combine acoustics and aesthetics.

⁃ The felts come in cheerful colors and are easy to turn into ecological decorations for home parties, such as bunting or Christmas tree ornaments. You can cut the felt to create lovely splashes of color for, for example, a children's room.

⁃ The felt is also suitable for various power tools and combines well with both metal and woodwork. It can also be used as a reinforcing material in crafts. Pinterest is full of wonderful applications for felt.

⁃ Felt is relatively easy to sew or knit, although the thicker material does not always go through all sewing machines. You can quickly make various storage pouches, sauna hats, storage baskets, pot covers, etc., out of felt.

The recycled textile felts are clean and all hard parts from the garments, such as buttons and zippers, have been removed. Small remnants of hard parts may be present in the felt.

Felt can be washed, which may cause pilling, softening, and slight shrinkage. The effects of washing vary by felt, but in general, the material handles washing well, and shrinkage, for example, is very minimal.

The felt is made from fiber blends found in clothing, i.e., cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers such as polyester. Dust and microfibers related to these fibers may detach from the felt. These also detach to varying degrees from all textiles.

The workwear was opened back into fibers at Rester's production facility in Paimio. The recycled material was finished into felt by Vilikkala in their Salo production facility. By using Vilikkala's felt materials, you are supporting the Finnish textile circular economy.
