FELT, in commerce, a sort of stuff deriving all its consistence merely from being full, or wrought with lees and size, without either spinning or weaving. Felt is made either of wool alone, or of wool and hair. Those of French make, yards long, and broad, for cloaks, pay each 2l. 14s. d. on importation; and draw back 1l. 12s. 3d. on exporting them again.
