Did you know that lovebirds mate for life? This beautiful white bird with blue, green and red detailing is the perfect way to display your love during the holiday season. Measuring 5” from tail to head, this lovebird is handmade by women in Nepal with 100% pure sheep’s wool and non-toxic avo-free dyes.
Meet the Artisans
Sheep’s wool is an amazingly adaptable fiber. It can be dyed any color and when hand felted using warm mildly soapy water it can be molded into any shape, or then cut and sewn together as per your imagination. Because the felting and most of the stitching process is all done by hand with natural materials that can be sustainably harvested, hand felted products have a relatively soft impact on the environment. Commercial exports of felted products from Nepal have grown exponentially since around 2000, benefitting thousands of mostly women workers, production managers and family businesses who help support their families and educate their children with their earnings. |
