Fulling is a finishing treatment given to wool fabric in which the fabric is subjected to varying degrees of moisture, friction, heat and pressure. This yields a thicker fabric, often with the weave obscured by its felted surface. Almost all wool fabrics are fulled, with winter coat fabrics (such as fleece and melton) fulled most heavily.
