ABOUT THE COLOURWAY
Natural Beige is a pale, creamy melange with distinctive wisps of light grey and soft taupe running through the undyed wool. Naturally multitonal rather than uniform, the subtle variations become particularly visible across the individual felt balls, giving each handmade mat rich texture and organic character. Particularly suited to interiors that embrace natural materials and visible texture, this tactile neutral pairs beautifully with wood, stone, linen and handmade ceramics.

HANDMADE IN NEPAL
Our felt ball tableware is handmade at a small workshop in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, with whom AURA QUE has worked since 2019. The women makers live locally and work flexible hours around their family commitments. From felting hundreds of individual wool balls to stitching them together by hand, the process requires considerable time and skill.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our felt ball mats and coasters are handmade from mulesing-free 100% sheep wool, carefully felted into individual balls using just soap and water. The distinctive soft texture and subtle tonal variations give each piece its handmade character. Wool felt is renewable and biodegradable; shades of grey, brown and cream are undyed, while other colours use azo-free dyes. Each ball is secured to its neighbours using strong 100% cotton thread, stitched from the centre outwards to create a durable, flexible surface.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Preparing the wool: Wool fleece is folded by hand into hundreds of small pods ready for felting. Around 600 pods can be prepared together on a single tray before the rolling process begins.
- Rolling the felt balls: A wooden board is rolled repeatedly over the tray with a small amount of water and soap. Partway through, a rock is added for extra weight, helping friction gradually transform the wool pods into dense felt balls while keeping water and soap use to a minimum.
- Drying in the sun: After around 45 minutes of rolling, the felt balls are fully formed and laid out together to dry naturally in the sun on the roof of the workshop. Next, they are sorted ready for assembly.
- Stitching by hand: Sitting together on the padded workshop floor, the artisans carefully hand-stitch the individual felt balls together, working from the centre outwards and securing each ball to its neighbour. It's a sociable process, with plenty of conversation shared as they work.
