More to the Story

—–

Each item is handmade of 100% wool from New Zealand through the ancient technique of felt making. By adding warm soapy water to wool and then pressing and rubbing, the fibers will tighten into a felted textile material. Gradually, as the fibers are tightening together, the items are shaped into their final form – flower, heart, bird, etc. Once it is dried, it is ready for its final embellishments.
