Using a technique called wet-felting, the only materials used in the making of these items are pure wool, natural soap and water. Safe, non-toxic dyes in an environmentally sustainable low-impact dying process which uses less energy and produces less waste byproduct. Products are handcrafted by women in Nepal; your purchase supports these artisans and their families, helps raise them out of poverty, and keeps crafting traditions alive. Care: The lanolin in the wool is anti-microbial and odor resistant which keeps wool beds and toys naturally clean.
