A felted material is a hairy or filamentous (hairy-like) fibre that is densely packed or tangled, forming felt or felt-like structures. Anatomy and zoology The dermis is described in Gray's Anatomy as "felted connective tissue, with a varying amount of elastic fibers and numerous blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves." When describing the external coat of an artery (the ''tunica adventitia''), Gray said that it "...consists mainly of fine and closely felted bundles of white connective tissue..." In such classes of connective tissue the felted structure helps with resistance to tearing by distributing localised stresses, and it imparts shock absorption and elasticity in two or three dimensions at once regardless of the shape of the tissue. In other words, certain types of felting can yield controllable isotropy or anisotropy in the behaviour of a structure.
