Felted wool coat

Felted wool is one of the oldest materials for making clothes. Products from this wool are very warm, wearable and comfortable. By production of a coat only natural materials are used thanks to what such things are distinguished by special ecological compatibility.

Felted clothing is durable, it can be safely washed and cleaned without fear that it will lose its original shape. Among other things, a coat of felted wool attracts a stylish and modern appearance.

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

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

This type of felting is also called felting or felching. With the help of dry felting clothes can be given a "zest" - all sorts of drawings and patterns.

For the manufacture of large things, such as a coat, wet felting is used. In its process, you must use a soap solution. Decomposed wool fibers are first moistened with warm water and soap.

Then begins the process of shrinkage through mechanical action: friction, rolling and pressing. This technique allows you to get very strong products.

Products made of felted wool are characterized by a relief structure and plasticity, it 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 a long or short felted coat with a straight cut. This option, characterized by concise style and quality fittings will give you the look of a serious and purposeful worker.

To form a more feminine bow, a felted coat of a fitted silhouette with a long sleeve is ideal. An elegant collar and a button closure will emphasize the traditional character of the model and will convince others of your impeccable taste.

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

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

For the off-season, the models of felted wool of the following styles are relevant: cape, poncho, cape coat and cardigan coat. In the listed models is usually not provided for the use of the lining.

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

The elongated options of a coat of felted wool to the floor, decorated with all sorts of patterns and patterns of contrasting wool, are designed for women who know how to present themselves in the best possible light and impress others.

Felted coat jackets with turn-down collars have become popular lately. These sleeveless coats are buttoned or hidden buttons, they also look great without fasteners.

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

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

A well-felted coat is already a worn-out 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 any decor, then it is better to use hand washing:

1. For her, you should purchase special powders or liquid products with lanolin.
2. It is enough to soak the coat in the solution with the product for a couple of hours, and then rinse thoroughly. The water temperature should be no higher than 40 degrees, especially if the thing is colored.
3. It is necessary to squeeze the coat, not twisting, and should be dried in expanded form on a horizontal surface, away from heat sources. It is better to iron a slightly wet product, at medium temperature.

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

Reviews on felted coat are usually quite positive. Happy owners are not pleased with the wonderful warming properties of the product, when even a thin felted coat can be worn to the very cold and snow.

Often, in the reviews the owner reports on the wonderful lightness, softness and coziness of her new coat, and also notes its property to be combined with any items of clothing - clothes, shoes and accessories. Often they praise a coat of felted wool for the fact that it sits beautifully on the figure and looks stylish and expensive.
