Felt 3 Circle Purse
[KCCP-04-19]

Size : 8 x 12 cm
Felt coin purse with three circle and zipper. Felt is a non-woven fabric formed when sheep's' wool or animal fur is subjected to heat, moisture and pressure or agitation. Soap, or an alkaline environment, helps the felting process. Heat and moisture cause the outer scales along the fiber to open, and the soap allows the fibers to slide easily over one another thereby causing them to become entangled. The wool fibers are made up of a protein called keratin. The keratin in the fibers becomes chemically bound to the protein of the other fibers thereby resulting in a permanent bond between the fibers, making the felting process irreversible. For bulk order we give discount. Less than 6 pcs order delivery subject to availability of stock.
