Felted wool coat

Felted wool is one of the oldest materials for making clothes. Products made from this wool are very warm, durable and comfortable. In the production of coats, only natural materials are used, due to which such things are distinguished by a special environmental friendliness.

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

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

Dry felting turns wool fibers into a finished product using special felting needles with fine burrs. As a result of many punctures with needles, the fibers become entangled with each other, compacted and in the end give out the thing of the required shape.

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

Wet felting is used to make large items such as coats. In its process, it is necessary to use a soap solution. The decomposed wool fibers are first moistened with warm water and soap.

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

Felted wool products are characterized by a relief structure and plasticity, which provides designers with a wide field for imagination. Felted wool outerwear can be completely varied in style.

If you need to create a business look, choose a long or cropped felted coat with a straight cut. This option, featuring a laconic style and high-quality fittings, will give you the look of a serious and purposeful worker.

For the formation of a more feminine bow, a felted coat of a fitted silhouette with long sleeves is ideal. An elegant collar and button closure will emphasize the tradition of the model and convince others of your impeccable taste.

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

A short fitted coat made of felted wool, flared at the bottom, is 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, felted wool models of the following styles are relevant: capes, ponchos, cape coats and cardigan coats. In the listed models, the use of a lining is usually not provided.

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

Elongated floor-length felted wool coats, decorated with all sorts of designs and patterns from contrasting wool, are created for ladies who know how to present themselves in the best possible light and impress others.

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

Neat patch pockets add functionality to the outfit. This coat will be appropriate both outdoors and in a cool room.

Hand-made decorative finishing of felted wool models 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 seaweed.

Felted things often look too graceful and delicate, but their apparent fragility and fragility is very deceiving, 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 an orderly shrinkage product, because it is in shrinkage that most of the felting process lies. Therefore, a felted wool coat can be safely washed.

But if your product is decorated with some kind of decor, then it is better to 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 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 wring out the coat without twisting it, but it should be dried unfolded on a horizontal surface, away from heat sources. It is better to iron a slightly damp product, at a medium temperature.

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