What is pool table felt?
A. Billiard fabric (or cloth) is not felt. Billiard fabric is a woven combination of worsted wool and Nylon. Nylon gives it strength and wool gives it bulk. ‘Worsted’ is a term used in the production of wool. One of the processes in the production untangles, cleans, and lays the fibers straight and side by side. This process is called carding. Another process is called combing, which creates worsted wool. Combing removes shorter length fibers. Worsted fibers are then spun or twisted tighter than other woolens, which make them finer, smoother, firmer, and stronger; and an excellent billiard fabric.
