HANDMADE IN NEPAL
Our felted decorations are 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. Using traditional wet-felting techniques, wool fibres are shaped and stitched by hand to create our decorative designs, with subtle variations in shape and texture reflecting the handmade process.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our felt decorations are handmade from mulesing-free 100% sheep wool, carefully felted and shaped by hand 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. These plastic-free decorations hang from 100% cotton thread, with many finished with a contrasting recycled glass bead.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Felting by hand: Wool fleece is arranged in layers to achieve the shape, thickness and colour of each design. Using a little soap and water, the wool is worked by hand, with friction and pressure gradually binding the fibres into dense, durable felt.
- Shaping the felt: Some decorations are shaped from a single piece of felt, while others are made from carefully cut panels, stitched together and stuffed with 100% wool fleece to create their three-dimensional form. Hundreds of tiny blanket stitches, sewn by hand with cotton thread, give each piece its neatly finished edges.
- Adding the cotton thread: Once dried naturally, the decorations are finished by hand with embroidered patterns and hanging loops. The thread is twisted by hand to achieve the required thickness for each detail.
- Finishing with bead details: For some designs, a recycled glass bead accent is double knotted onto the hanging loop, while others have tiny sparkling glass 'pote' beads stitched into the felt.
