What are the differenced between felt fabrics?
What is the difference between synthetic felts (I know about WOOL felt)? It seems the stuff that you buy from the craft store pills up so easily and is not as tightly woven as some I’ve seen on finished felt products I’ve seen in the stores. I’ve looked on craft blogs and can see in close-up pictures that their felt looks smoother than craft-store felt. Any input would be great!

I’ve used both wool felt (and felted knitting myself), and also Kunin felts (man-made fibres). I’ve found the Kunin stuff much tighter and firmer to work on, and it’s also washable. Hope this helps and that other people can add something.
