How Is Beaver Fur Felt Made?
Beaver fur felt is made by processing the beaver fur to separate the dense underfur from the coarse guard hairs. The underfur is then washed, dried, and mixed with mercury nitrate and other chemicals to transform it into felt. The felt is then pressed, steamed, and shaped into hats or other products. This process gives beaver fur felt its unique durability, water resistance, and insulating properties, making it a popular material for hats and other accessories.
