Making felted wool is an ages-old, time-consuming process of bonding fabric with fiber. This is a physical job where the artisan’s scrub, rub, roll and rinse the wool again and again with soapy water.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nOnce the wool is bound into a sheet and the desired thickness is complete, the felt is laid out to dry. From there, the felt wool is cut and re-worked into many complex shapes and designs. The many sheets of wool might merge several colors to create patterns and layers. This takes a well-trained, talented artisan and is a true labor of love. The end results are colorful, one-of-a-kind textiles that are stunning to behold. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Global Groove Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52291347251489,"sku":"GLG50068-01","price":33.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0129\/1553\/files\/d14eb8d9-2058-442e-95e8-a037b0c9640a.jpg?v=1773105309","url":"https:\/\/shoreshopper.com\/products\/hand-crafted-felt-cat-tea-cozy","provider":"Your Coastal Marketplace | Shoreshopper.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
