Making felted wool is an ages-old time-consuming process of bonding fabric with fiber. This is a physical job where the artisans scrub rub roll and rinse the wool again and again with soapy water. Once 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.
