Traditional sheep wool felting is one of the oldest textile techniques, which prevailed until humans eventually learned to weave textiles. Although dozens of new textiles, including synthetics, have emerged through the ages, natural wool felt is especially relevant today as an organic and nature friendly material.
This is a 100% biodegradable and renewable resource, as sheep wool grows back in a year!
For the EDIX saddlepad production we have chosen 100% natural, premium quality Merino wool felt made in Australia. Merino sheep are prized for their fine fur and considered to have the highest quality wool. Felt made of this material is distinguished by softness and durability. It is water, soil and flame resistant, doesn’t crease, stretch or lint and is making sure the pressure of the rider is perfectly spread over the whole surface.
.How to take care for your EDIX wool felt saddlepad:
- Dried sweat can be easily removed with the included brush
- Small stains can be gently handwashed with soap and cleaned with a brush under running water;
- Dry in a natural environment. Don’t dry directly on any source of heat and don’t expose to direct sunlight;
- Do not wash in a washing machine, don’t put in a dryer and don’t iron;
- For the maintenance of leather abbrassive part, we advise to use the Oakwood leather conditioner.
The advantages of natural felt:
- Natural wool felt is an organic, environmentally friendly material – 100% biodegradable and renewable.
- Natural felt is soft, cosy and pleasant to touch.
- It is lint, stretch, discolouration and flame resistant;
- Lanolin, the natural wool-fat, makes the felt resistant to moisture and soiling. Drops of water simple drop off the material without being absorbed. The dirt doesn’t penetrate inside and may be brushed off with ease
- Due to antibacterial characteristics wool is resistant to mould and environmental odours.
