Felted coat

Felted wool is one of the oldest materials for making clothes. Products from this wool are very warm, socks and comfortable. In the manufacture of coats, only natural materials are used, so these things are distinguished by special environmental friendliness.

Felted clothes are durable, they can be easily washed and cleaned without fear that they will lose their original shape. Among other things, a coat of felted wool attracts with a stylish and modern appearance.

Both main types of felting, dry and wet, are based on the property of natural wool fibers to intertwine with each other and condense, forming a single fabric.

Dry felting turns wool fibers into a finished product using special felting needles with small burrs. As a result of a multitude of punctures with needles, the fibers become tangled, compacted and finally give out a thing of the necessary shape.

This kind of felting is also called felting or felting. With the help of dry felting, clothes can be given a “highlight” - all kinds of drawings and patterns.

For large items such as coats, wet felting is used. In its process, it is necessary to use a soap solution. Decomposed wool fibers are first wetted with warm water and soap.

Then begins the process of shrinkage by means of mechanical action: friction, skating and compression. This technique allows you to get very strong products.

Products made of felted wool are characterized by a relief structure and plasticity, this provides designers with an extensive field for imagination. Outerwear made of felted wool is completely diverse in style.

If you need to create a business image, pick up a long or short felted coat with a straight cut. This option, featuring a concise style and high-quality fittings, will give you the look of a serious and purposeful employee.

To create a more feminine bow, a felted coat with a fitted silhouette with a long sleeve is ideally suited. An elegant collar and button closure will emphasize the traditionality of the model and convince others of your impeccable taste.

From felted wool, designers can create actual coats in a military style. They are decorated with large shiny buttons, shoulder straps, belts with buckles and other army paraphernalia.

A short fitted coat made of felted wool, flared down - a popular style among young people. Such models are usually painted in rich colors and decorated with a wide belt and large buttons.

For wearing in winter, you can pick up a felted coat with a hood that will protect you from bad weather conditions - rain or wind. There are models with hoods or collars trimmed with fur.

Elongated coat options made of felted wool on the floor, decorated with all kinds of patterns and patterns of contrasting wool, are designed for ladies who know how to present themselves in the best possible light and impress others.

Recently, felted coat vests with turn-down collars are becoming popular. These sleeveless coats are fastened with buttons or hidden buttons, they also look great without fasteners.

Neat patch pockets make the outfit more functional. This coat will be appropriate both on the street and in a cool room.

Hand-made decorative decoration of models made of felted wool is popular; it makes the thing exclusive, unique and truly unique. To create spectacular textures on a felted coat, not only woolen fibers of a contrasting color are used, but also silk, linen, cotton, viscose and even algae.

Felted things often look too elegant and delicate, but their apparent fragility and fragility are very deceptive, they tolerate all kinds of loads and influences very well. As for shrinkage of felted products, such an effect is not observed here.

A well-piled coat is already an orderly shrunken product, because it is in shrinkage that most of the felting process lies. Therefore, a coat of felted wool can be safely washed.

But if your product is decorated with some kind of decor, then it is better to apply hand wash:

1. For her, it is worth purchasing special powders or liquid products with lanolin.
2. It is enough to soak the coat in a solution with the product for a couple of hours, and then rinse thoroughly. The water temperature should not be higher than 40 degrees, especially if the thing is colored.
3. It is necessary to wring out the coat without unscrewing it, and it should be dried in expanded form on a horizontal surface, away from heat sources. It is better to iron a slightly moist product at medium temperature.

If you are afraid to wash your coat yourself, it is better to use dry cleaning.
