Fur felt is a type of felted fabric made from the hair of animals, primarily rabbit, beaver, or other fur-bearing animals. It is created by matting, condensing, and pressing the fibers together, resulting in a dense, durable material often used for high-quality hats, coats, and accessories. Fur felt is prized for its softness, warmth, and ability to hold shape, making it a popular choice in luxury fashion.
A fur felt fedora is made of . . . fur felt, of course. The felt is made from the fur of an animal, such as rabbit or beaver. A "wool felt" hat is an inexpensive alternative to a "fur felt" hat. The fur felt is more durable and retains its shape much better than wool felt hats. This is reflected in the price. Beaver fur felt is the some of the highest quality. Often X's are stamped in the hat to indicate quality. A "XXXXX" hat has a higher quality felt than, say, a "XXX" hat.
Furs. The fur trade was very good and made Hudson Bay Company, the French, and others lots of money. The fur was used to make fur felt hats ( you can still buy a hat with fur felt) and Europeans wanted the hats as well as the fur.

Yes. Beavers are considered small game. They are killed as humanely as possible. Once they're dead, they are skinned, then their hide is put into a special shredding machine that separates the skin from the fur quickly and precisely. The fur is then mixed, treated and interwoven to create a fur-felt which can be shaped into a hat. So you're never wearing a dead beaver on your head, just a dead beaver's fur.
No. When antlers are in the growing stages they are covered in what is called felt, which is a skin covering over bone (which is what antlers are really made of). This felt contains blood vessels and nerves that help protect these growing antlers from being potentially damaged. Once the antlers have fully grown, the felt is shed.
wash it, comb it make it into yarn/felt look it up on you tube
Animals trapped for the fur trade, (even those whose fur was used for felt hats like beaver) were killed and skinned. Probably preferable to being skinned alive. Beavers were generally trapped using methods that resulted in them drowning.
Technically felt can come from any animal with fur or hair even people (think dreadlocks) however most felt comes from sheep, the cheap thin stuff at the cradt stores is actually made from plastic pellets. Hope this helps Andie AmericanFeltandCraft.com
