Felt Balls, Felt Wool, Felt Balls, Felt Cords, Felt Stars...
Since about 8000 BC, people have been felting wool to make felt clothing, shoes, tents, and jewelry from felt balls, felt beads, and felt pearls. Excavations have found fabrics from the last centuries showing how sustainable and durable a felted fabric can be.
Felt brings life and joy of colors into everyday life. Children can learn colors with our felt balls and use felt balls for counting practice.
Montessori-inspired ideas for quantity learning make it easier to understand in kindergarten and preschool when used repeatedly with various suggestions. Natural handling and use make quantity learning easier to grasp and apply.
Our felt hearts, felt stars, and felt cords are excellent sustainable materials for decorating and adorning your home, eco-friendly and sustainable due to their durability. Great sorting possibilities can be made from simple materials.
Extra small felt balls are often used to make jewelry for earrings, chain links, or ring attachments.
Felt products from SCHNUFFELINIS are sustainably plastic-free, durable, and of high quality due to their 100% felt wool.
Felt wool is an ecologically well-decomposable material and is made from sheep wool. In wet felting (fulling), felt wool is kneaded, worked, and pressed (fulled) with soapy water. Through the process, the fine wool fibers interlock, thus entangling the fibers. This is also known as felting.
In needle felting (dry felting), felt needles with barbs all around the needle are repeatedly poked into the wool, so the fibers bond together. Our wool can be used for both dry and wet felting.
Our felt products are: Free from toxic chemicals & fillers, made from 100% felt wool dyed without solvents & bleach. Additionally, they are AZO & petroleum free. Furthermore, we guarantee 100% mulesing-free wool from New Zealand.
Mulesing-free wool production ensures that sheep are not subjected to the cruel practice of cutting the skin around the tail without painkillers or anesthesia to prevent parasite infestations.
This practice is legally anchored in New Zealand under the PGG Wool Integrity Programme and was the first country worldwide to ban it.
