felt

Matted fabric of wool fibres, formed when the scales on the surface of wool fibres ‘lock’ together when subjected to heat, pressure, friction, and moisture. Small amounts of other fibres can be combined with the wool fibres.

The origin of felt is in the steppes of Central Asia, where yurts (tents made from felt), shoes, hats, blankets, and other felt items continue to be made by nomadic herding peoples.
