About wool felt:
Felting is the bonding together of wool fibres, using hot water and soap. It is a deceptively simple process with astounding possibilities.

The difference between commercial (synthetic) felt and handmade wool felt is enormous: the feel and look and therefore appeal is totally different. The wool felt takes the dyes beautifully, a warm and rich vibrant look that the synthetic textile just doesn't have.

Less than ten years ago, there was no felt industry in Nepal, now there are many manufacturers and workers making a living out of this craft work.

We think handmade products are really mini works of art - they have soul and feeling purely because a real person sat there and created this product.
