This textile is created when handmade felt is hand cut into "drop" shapes, arranged an original composition and layered with fine merino wool in an improvisational pattern. The materials are merged together when wet-felted by hand, using soap, water and friction. The pattern facing side is a combination of varying shades of blue "drops". The opposite side, is black and blue wool. .
This textile can be cleaned in a variety of ways. It can be spot cleaned with soap and water. It can be washed in a "trusted" gentle cycle with room temperature water. Or it can be dry-cleaned. Hang dry. Never wash in hot water or put in the dryer! It also loves a good steam, so it can be "refreshed" with an iron or hand steamer. Many layers of wool give this textile its”hand”. Although substantial, this piece remains thin, lightweight and warm. It undulates and drapes well, and can be used decoratively or functionally. It is a great subtle addition for your home or for the textile lover in your life.

This piece measures approximately 40”wide and 49”long.
