Bessie the Cow Felt Holiday Ornament - Wild Woolies (H)

20.00

This 4.5-inch tall holiday ornament is made from 100% natural wool and non-toxic, azo-free dyes.

Meet the Artisans

Walking into the Kathmandu production center’s reception you are immediately greeted by a cheerful ‘Namaste’ (‘I Salute the God Within You’) with hands pressed together in a prayerful expression. Proceeding into any of the production halls you’ll be greeted by a complete chorus of the same as dozens of ladies press felt into a variety of shapes, while others stitch, needle and applique to finish hundreds of different styles of decorative items for export.

Sheep’s wool is an amazingly adaptable fiber. It can be dyed any color and when hand felted using warm mildly soapy water it can be molded into any shape, or then cut and sewn together as per your imagination. Because the felting and most of the stitching process is all done by hand with natural materials that can be sustainably harvested, hand felted products have a relatively soft impact on the environment. Commercial exports of felted products from Nepal have grown exponentially since around 2000, benefitting thousands of mostly women workers, production managers and family businesses who help support their families and educate their children with their earnings.

Beautiful little set

My husband got me this for Christmas. I collect nativity sets from around the world. It is a really lovely little set. The sheep is too cute for words. it is well made too. In order to display it without the pieces falling down, might have to stuff each piece with tissue paper. Just to give them volume, but that is really easily done and undone for storage. I love that the set is from Nepal too.

Thank you so much Sarah for your incredible review of the Felt Family Nativity by Wild Woolies! I love your idea about 'stuffing' the pieces with a little tissue to keep them from falling down. Your review inspires trust and confidence in the fair trade movement and helps others to appreciate the craftsmanship of our artisans. Thank you so much for your amazingly thorough review! Thank you! - Michele Adams/Shopkeeper
