handcrafted lovingly in nepal by our small women's collective.  sheep wool is gathered, cleaned and dyed by hand, with a process that works around nature’s elements (our artisans avoid the months-long monsoon season so that the woolen felt has plenty of time to sun-dry).  the end result is vibrant colors that are both stunning and everlasting.  our collective includes women who are skilled in their craft, welcoming and training other women to grow into a craft too.  artisans gather daily, working in (joyful!) circles as they create.  within the collective, women have the opportunity to expand their skills, while gaining confidence, friendships and generating income for their families.
