Strange fabric find
When I bought my house 5 years ago the previous owners left a massive spool of fabric hanging in the basement. After 5 years of fervently denying the existence of this dark cylindrical mystery, I’ve decided it’s time to start unraveling this onion’s layers. Carl, seen in the pic I posted, is about 7-8’ long, quite heavy, and wrapped in chains for security (I’m assuming).
I think it might be felt but I’m skeptical because I have never seen felt in this much quantity outside of Joann Fabrics. So I’m trying to figure out,
How can I identify whether this is acrylic or wool felt? How many yards does this roughly look like? Who would I donate or sell this to? I have no need for this and would prefer it go to someone who can make good use of it. Is there another use for something like this outside of sewn goods?
I’m just not sure where to even start with this one so any insight would be super helpful! 😀
Thank you!
