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.
