Translates to "Felt". It's a specialty trade good of Russia that will be sold in St. Petersburg for roughly 722D (will require investment and a certain development level for it to show up though) when Gran Atlas Chapter 1 comes out.

I found some on a shipwreck in the Northeast Passage.

This is now available from St. Petersburg's market keeper. The city's current development is 72903.

According to the in-game chart info, it's a russian speciality.

And it's used in quite a few Russian sewing recipes, IIRC. Glad to hear we no longer need to rely on rare NE Passage shipwreck drops and/or 100k bazaar prices for this particular trade good.

I have invested 5m and this wasn't even on the market... why?

If you go Journal -> Charts -> Northern Europe -> Baltic Sea -> Details -> St Petersburg -> Trade Goods Information, does felt appear as solid or faded out? If faded and you click on it, does it give any information?

When I do it, it's faded and on the right it says Insufficient Investment, which makes sense because I think I've only invested once or twice there.

Back before we had an idea of what made the St.P City Official give you extra storage/finesse slots, I plunked 10m down to see if that would help (it didn't). Egw's directions show Felt as lit up; I've been to St.P in person and seen/purchased the Felt just fine. I'm guessing you need to invest a bit more in town, rokr.

Edit: I should clarify and say, you don't probably need 10m total investment to make Felt appear. I expect the required amount is much lower. Maybe use Egw's directions to check after each investment in town from the Official, then post the magic number here when you find it? Cheers, and great voyaging to you.

I did a little digging, and found that Felt requires "6.94M 7.68M ultra following the development of 77k". Make of that what you will.

opened trade with Korea (Pohang) with 440 Felt
and opened trade with South China (Macau) with 394 Felt
at least, Felt from shipwrecks can be useful for something
