From Sheep Wool To Persian Felt Hat | The Ancient Art Of Felt Hat Making

In this documentary, we follow one of the last remaining felt masters of Iran. For nearly 60 years, this master artisan from Rudsar has transformed raw sheep wool into beautiful handmade felt hats and other unique products, preserving a fading piece of Iran’s cultural heritage. Working across villages in Rudsar, Gilan Province, he has trained many apprentices over the decades, keeping this rare and beautiful craft alive. As modern life advances and income from this hard labor declines, fewer young people are willing to continue this demanding craft. Today, he stands among the last remaining masters of Persian felt making — training students, sharing knowledge, and keeping the tradition alive with passion and dedication. In this documentary, you’ll witness the full step-by-step process of turning raw wool into a traditional Persian felt hat, and explore the story of resilience behind one of Iran's endangered crafts. 🌿 Help preserve these disappearing traditions by sharing this video. #feltmaking #IranianCrafts #felthat
