MADE WITH HEARTH AND SOUL

HOW IT IS MADE

We deliver quality

In Mongolia there are several techniques for producing felt. The felt making traditional way is to prepare large sheet of pressed felt that is suited for Nomadic dwelling “Ger“ yurt but it does not work well for thinner or shaped felt as used in clothing such as slippers or home wares.

Carding

The wool is first carded into soft wadding using a hand cranked spiked drum. It is dyed at this stage using a variety of natural or manmade dyes

Flattening

Using lots of soapy water the colored felt is to put inside a pillow case or similar and hand rolled to create a small flat sheet.

Molding

This felt sheet can then be molded over a hat block or other object and manipulated into the desired shape.To add extra detail (such as flower or pattern decorations) small pieces of wet felt are often hand pressed into the main object.
Once dried, felt holds its shape very well and - being a tight weave - is relatively showerproof. Also because the dye is added early in the construction and goes through several rigorous washing processes, the colours do not bleed out or fade. This means you can be confident that your bag or boots from us will stand the test of time. Even better still you know you are wearing a unique fully handmade item - a difficult thing to find in this day and age!
