In the felt you buy the wool fibers are not woven but mixed together with hot soapy water until the scales all lock together. Not structurally strong
The felt you get from washing the the suits you bought will be practically indestructible. (Process is called ‘fulling’ and the fabric is 'fulled wool' just in case the quilt police try to give you a test before you kick them out.)
