Boiled wool and Valdostano felt in Aosta

Boiled wool and Valdostano felt are traditional textile materials of the Alps, created by working wool with hot water, pressure, and movement until it becomes compact and highly durable. In Valle d’Aosta they are used to make hats, slippers, bags, gloves, and small accessories. The result is a thick, warm, slightly rough fabric, perfectly suited to the mountain climate. Today many local artisans reinterpret these materials in contemporary objects while preserving techniques and colors linked to Alpine tradition.
