Two-page encyclopedia article on felt as a fabric made without weaving. It covers the origin of felt making, the scaly structure of wool and hair that causes fibres to interlock, the first mechanical felting process (J. R. Williams, c. 1820), and the uses of felt, including hats, floor coverings, piano hammers, and roofing and lining felts. It ends with a bibliographic pointer to Murphy's The Textile Industries and 1909 U.S. census statistics on felt manufacture.
