A two-page encyclopedia article explaining felt as a fabric formed without weaving, through the interlocking of barbed hair and wool fibres under moisture, pressure and beating. It recounts the St Clement hatters' legend, describes beaver-hat felting by hand and machine felting of waste wool, and lists uses such as carpeting, drugget, padding, saddles, boiler sheathing and asphalted roofing felt.
