The disclosure embraces a fibrous product in which fibers of an assemblage of fibers are bonded together by fine discrete binder fibers and to a method and apparatus for producing same wherein fine discrete highly-flexible binder fibers are entrained in or influenced by streams of gas such as air streams to be intermingled with the fibers of the assemblage, the velocities of the streams of gas or air being sufficient to cause the discrete binder fibers to be wrapped around fibers of the assemblage for bonding the assemblage of fibers into an integrated or unitary fibrous product such as a nonwoven textile, fibrous mat or body.
