The best wool
We select a wide variety of wools, each with unique properties that make it suitable for a specific use. Every year we process more than 800 tons of wool from the main wool-producing areas all over the world.
We have the technical means to carry out the entire production and finishing process internally, which gives us full control and the capacity to adapt to the requirements of our customers.
While wool felt was one of the first textiles developed by humans, the basic principles behind its manufacturing process have not changed.
At Textil Olius, we have adopted modern technologies to optimize the process, add flexibility and, above all, fully control the attributes that our customers value and that give our products the highest quality.
We select a wide variety of wools, each with unique properties that make it suitable for a specific use. Every year we process more than 800 tons of wool from the main wool-producing areas all over the world.
We blend the different types of selected wool in each of the products that we process. Both our standard felts and the made-to-measure felts ordered by our customers are made from carefully selected blends of the most suitable wool varieties.
Carding ensures that all the wool fibres are aligned in the same direction and distributed evenly and homogeneously. At this stage, wool fibers form a fluffy superposition of layers to create a batt.
The wool fibre differs from synthetic and other natural fibres in that it has small scales at a microscopic level. In the felting stage, we take advantage of this property and process one or several of the wool batts to provide the wool fibres with moisture and heat while subjecting them to a friction process that facilitates fibre consolidation.This process is highly sensitive because the starting material is highly brittle and prone to breakage if not treated with extreme precision.
This is one of the most important stages of the manufacturing process, as the fulling compacts the felt to give it optimum strength and durability.
The fulling machine performs a repetitive process by creating a difference in processing speeds. In this way, each iteration increases the resistance of the resulting felt until reaching the ideal levels for its intended use.
The washing stage helps to remove any remaining impurities of natural origin that may remain in the felt.
The dyeing process is one of the most technically complex stages of our manufacturing process, as a satisfactory result requires great precision. In addition, the dyeing of wool felt requires the use of very specific machinery, different from the equipment more commonly used in textile dyeing.
Our constant innovation in the manufacturing process has allowed us to develop a dyeing method perfectly adapted to wool felt:
→ Temperature: we control the water temperature with total precision to prevent alterations in the dyes.
→ Low water consumption: we use as little water as possible.
→ Chemical control: the use of various chemical products is essential in the dyeing process. Even so, we use very few chemical additives, we analyse them meticulously and we eliminate them completely from the water released in the process by our own water treatment plant.
→ Customization: we can achieve any colour that the customer wants, both in large batches and in small quantities.
The felt is dryed to obtain a finished product ready to undergo quality controls.
Small tweezers are used to manually remove the small impurities of natural origin that may remain on the surface of the felt.
The process of shearing consists of “shaving” the felt to achieve a smooth and uniform finish without loose fibres.
The ironing of some of our felts helps to give our products a slightly softer touch and hand feel needed in some applications.
Prior to packaging, our specialists carry out the final check to ensure that the felt meets the required specifications. When each batch has successfully passed all quality controls, it is packaged and stored for later shipment.
From this moment on, our products travel to many different places in the world to be part of projects in all sectors.
