Each sample of material will have a corresponding Catalogue record.
Each Catalogue record will contain information on the material that will cover for example:
Description of the material, colour, density, thickness.
Composition : e.g. The woolfibres for this woolfelt are a blend of Australian and South-America merinowool, and processed into felt in Europe
Qualities: e.g. Wool has a natural repellency for dirt and dust, stains can be removed gently with cold water or by dry cleaning. The shrinkage after dry clean for 3 mm is -1% in length and 0% in width
Uses: Felt with the thickness of 3 mm can be used for bags, interiorproducts and wallcovering.

IADT’s Material Library allows our community to get hands-on with materials via the sample boxes. Materiality is a significant component of practice for many members of our creative academic community and the Materials Library supports them to explore, investigate and discover a wide range of materials.
Housed in the Library as a reference collection, the Materials Library is purposefully accessible to the full IADT community, and individual boxes can be loaned to lecturers as a way of supporting them in-studio.
Please feel free to contact us about any question you have - about this subject or anything else you need help with. Library staff are available to provide help and answer queries online/remotely and in-person on Level 1 of the Library.
