1, feel: feel tight by hand, indicating that the felt has high density and good quality.
If the feel is soft and the wool density is sparse, it means that the felt material is blended, and the surface of the felt will pilling after a period of time.
2, water absorption: drop a few drops of water on the felt, and then observe that the felt with high wool content has better water absorption.
3. Burning: Take a pinch of wool from the felt, light it with a lighter and knead it into powder, which proves that it is pure wool felt; If it is kneaded into granules, it proves to be chemical fiber.
It is recommended to choose a dense felt.
For beginners, if their choice is too troublesome, they can go to the calligraphy shop for consultation or buy directly online (Congcong usually chooses some well-known Tmall stores to buy, and the quality is more reliable).
Maintenance of felt
When using the felt, cherish it as much as possible. Don't deliberately smear ink on the felt, and don't write directly on the felt, because the felt should not be washed with water as much as possible, and the washed wool will become loose and uneven.
If you don't use it for a long time, you should always put the felt in the sun to dry and dust it to avoid insects.
