Felt is one of the oldest textiles of the Himalaya: clothing, blankets and tent covers have long been made from it. It is made without weaving – wool fibres, for example from sheep or yak, are fulled with water, heat and pressure until they lock firmly together. The result is a dense, robust and warming fabric.
