  1. The material is felt and it is made by a process called wet felting, where natural wool fiber is stimulated by friction and lubricated by moisture (usually soapy water), and the fibers move at a 90 degree angle towards the friction source and then away again, in effect making little "tacking" stitches. Only 5% of the fibers are active at any one moment, but the process is continual, and so different 'sets' of fibers become activated and then deactivated in the continual process until a sheet of felt is produced.


  2. Felt

  3. The material is felt and the specific color of it is optic yellow. The older balls were made of wool.

  4. The outer material of a tennis ball is felt (usually wool treated with additives to make it last longer and resist staining)
