These reversible vessels are made with several layers of Merino wool, recycled sweater parts, and wool fabric for stability. The felting process layers the wool over a “resist” to prohibit the felting in parts and create the void that becomes the containment area.
They are hand washable in warm to cool water (not cold or hot!), gentle soap, no agitation, no machines. Once wetted again, the shape is finalized over a glass, bowl, box, balloon, or by padding with plastic filler to ‘block’ the shape until dry. With proper care they will last for many years.

Vessels
They look delicate but really are very sturdy.
They do, however, require hand wash care to keep from felting even more…
Fiber Art on the Wall
Wool is a natural resistance to dust and other air particles and therefore the wall hangings does not necessarily need to be washed. However, felt section can be removed from the structure and hand washed in warm (not hot or cold) water, if necessary. Once washed and rung dry, lay flat, gently stretch to shape and let dry.
