A person who makes felt, or a machine or device used in the felting process.
From 'felt' (verb) plus the agent suffix '-er,' indicating one who performs an action. This term dates to medieval times when felters were recognized craftspeople.
Medieval felters were skilled artisans whose trade secrets were closely guarded—they could feel when wool fibers were perfectly matted together just by touch, and some felters' families kept their techniques proprietary for generations.
