Felt comes synthetic or wool. Felt could be 100% wool or less. Each type of felt has its pros and cons. Laser cutting felt with high content of wool will create a darker edge. Also, when wool felt is laser cut it releases unpleasant smell of burnt hair. Thicker wool felt has darker edge and unpleasant smell takes longer to air out. Contrary to this, thin wool felt has less visible dark edge, and smell disappears within a day. Synthetic felt has a list of pros compared to wool. It is less expensive. It is easier to laser cut synthetic felt because it does not change the edge color and does not have specific smell attributed to laser cut wool. Lately we work with suppliers that manufacture felt from recycled plastics. In addition these felts have antimicrobial quality.
