The Art of Felting: The first step to creating these beautiful felt pieces begins with gathering some of the world's finest sheep's wool from New Zealand. Making felted wool is an ages-old, time-consuming process of bonding fabric with fiber. This is a physical job where the artisan's scrub, rub, roll and rinse the wool again and again with soapy water. Once the wool is bound into a sheet and the desired thickness is complete, the felt is laid out to dry. From there, the felt wool is cut and re-worked into many complex shapes and designs. The many sheets of wool might merge several colors to create patterns and layers. This takes a well-trained, talented artisan and is a true labor of love. The end results are colorful, one-of-a-kind textiles that are stunning to behold.HANDMADE: Handmade in Nepal by a Fair Trade women's cooperative ONE OF A KIND: Crafted from fine New Zealand wool and azo-free dyes using age-old techniques.SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE: When you buy this piece, you are also helping break the cycle of generational poverty by supporting a business model that encourages fair wages, safe working conditions, and community investment.CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Spot clean with mild soap.FEATURES: This set includes a felt Trivet & Coaster
