Are these ornaments handmade?

Yes. Every ornament is entirely handmade by skilled female artisans in Nepal. Each piece begins with natural wool felt that is hand-cut, stitched, and embroidered using time-honored techniques. Subtle variations in color, texture, or pattern are part of what makes each ornament unique, a reflection of the maker’s touch and the authenticity of true handcraft.

Is the wool ethically sourced?

Absolutely. The wool is gathered from free-roaming New Zealand sheep raised under cruelty-free conditions. Shearing is gentle and pain-free, ensuring the animals’ comfort and well-being.

Are they eco-friendly?

Yes. These ornaments are crafted from certified cruelty-free, organic New Zealand wool and colored with azo-free, plant-based dyes that are safe for your home and the planet. Free from synthetic fillers and harsh chemicals, they’re fully biodegradable and gentle on sensitive skin. Every stage of production, spinning, dyeing, felting, and stitching, is done in small, fair-trade workshops with minimal waste and maximum care for people and the environment.

Can I display them year-round?

Absolutely. While they bring instant charm to a holiday tree, their playful form and handcrafted warmth make them perfect for year-round décor. Hang them in the kitchen, children’s rooms, or cozy reading nooks to add a touch of joy and softness to your space. They can even be used as natural fragrance diffusers, add a few drops of our Ewe Dew fragrance oil to the wool surface and enjoy a gentle scent in your room or car. Each piece is made to bring happiness beyond the season, a small reminder of the beauty in everyday details.

How should I clean and care for them?

Spot clean gently using cold water and a mild, natural soap, then air dry flat. Avoid soaking, heat, or machine washing to preserve the shape and texture of the felt. When not in use, store your ornaments in a dry, breathable bag or box to protect them from dust and moisture. With gentle care, they’ll remain vibrant and full of character for many holidays to come.
