What to Look for in High-Quality Wools
Pure Wool Material
The first thing to consider when choosing handmade felt balls is the material. The wools offered at Nomad Krafts are widely considered to be one of the best types of wool for felting. The wool should be naturally soft, strong, and biodegradable, which makes it both eco friendly and long lasting. The best quality wool absorbs dye more effectively, which makes colors long lasting. You can get products made of 100% pure wool at Nomad Krafts.
Consistent and Firm Felting
A quality felt ball should feel dense and firm and keep its shape even when the felt ball is squeezed. The felting process should be solid throughout the felt ball, and fibers need to be tightly felted into each other so that there is no lumpiness or hollowness in the felt ball. A consistent density keeps the felt balls round, which is particularly important if you intend to string, glue, or sew them, so that they maintain their shape as much as possible. The felt balls at Nomad Krafts are consistent and have no lumpiness.
Smooth Surface
The surface texture of the felt ball is also an indicator of quality craft. Quality Nepal Wool Felt Balls should have a smooth, neat surface finish with no loose fibers or rough patches sticking out. Having a smooth surface makes them more user friendly, especially if you are working on specific designs or creating detailed decorations. All products made from wool felt bills are smooth and neat at Nomad Krafts.
Safe and Vibrant colors
Felt balls are beautiful because of the number of colors available, but not all dyes are created equal. The best Nepal wool felt balls use environmentally safe dyes that are safe for children, pets, and the environment. These types of dyes give the felt balls bright and even colors that will not throw colors when washed. When you purchase high quality multicolor felt balls, they should stay bright and beautiful for years.
