Felting is one of the oldest ways of making textiles. Its traditional roots go back to a time when people were just learning to fashion protective clothing from leather and plant fibers, and it has been with us ever since. A felt renaissance is afoot in the world of contemporary arts as creative souls reawaken to the importance of handmade things and organic processes.

To this day, felt is still made with the same techniques: heat, moisture, and agitation that turn loose wool fibers into densely matted felt materials.

Wash your felt piece by hand. Use cold to luke-warm water and a dash of detergent. Wring out excess water and allow to drip dry.

Dry cleaning OK. Do not, however, use a washing machine or dryer to wash felt piece, as this will cause distortion. Use a steam iron to press the piece, if desired.

Protect from pests by storing in a sealed plastic container during Summer months.
