There are many legends about the origin of felt. One of the most interesting legends is that of Holy Clemente, the guardian of Western shoe-cap merchants. Once St. Clemente was running desperately in the woods to escape the pursuit of his enemies. His feet began to fever and ache, but he still tried to get rid of the enemy who pursued him. So he found some hair in the woods and stopped to collect it. In order to alleviate the pain, he wrapped the hair around his feet, then put it back in his shoes and continued to run wild. When he finally arrived at a safe place, he took his painful feet out of his shoes and found that they had become felt shoes. Since then, felt has been widely used in religious ceremonies, becoming a God to expel demons and bring good luck.
Later, people found that wool has high quality properties such as non-woven, integral formability, warmth retention, waterproofing, fire resistance, fixation, heat insulation, etc. They began to use wool as the manufacturing material of advanced arts and crafts, and then let felt crafts mount the palace of art.
