Filz Gnoss

Filz Gnoss is another of Cologne’s traditional stores, selling more than 200 different kinds of felt in all the colours of the rainbow. Thanks to the craft boom that began a few years ago, felt has been rediscovered as a material, with no trace of the slightly dusty, musty image it used to have. In addition to ready-made felt products such as slippers, coasters, smartphone pouches or keyring accessories in the shape of Cologne Cathedral, shoppers can also have the material cut to order in Filz Gnoss’ very own workshop, for instance for making seat cushions in just the right colour. And what’s more, the service is less expensive than ordering the material online – so it’s no wonder customers from out of town travel to the city specially to buy their felt here.
