BLONDE FELT WOOL HAIR CRAFT DREADLOCKS FIBRE ART

Hair out drying after being handmade in Nepal

THIS IS A COPY OF THE DETAILS FROM NEPAL ABOUT THE PROCESS INVOLVED IN MAKING THE FELT.

Felt is a fabric made of compressed matted animal fibers. The raw materials (lamb wool) are imported from New Zealand, which is considered as A-grade wool in the world. At the very beginning we do carding then dye it in various colors. Such dyeing can be done by both hand and machine but machine dyeing is more practical for fast color. Upon completion of the coloring process our skilled labors, mostly the women workers start compress the raw material with the help of washing soap & hot water by hand. We never use any kind of chemical or machine to make the product; hence felt products are 100% hand made. As far the making process, there will be a pattern for the product to be produced and that pattern is the only the basement of the ready product, there will not be any use of sewing or patching but rubbing and washing with hot water by bare hands makes the product well jammed and looks the actual shape. While bringing the product in the right shape; we put it to dry in the sunlight, which is the only way to dry the product that will be wet while making. After drying the main product, some extra works such as gluing and sewing will also be requires as per the design. All of our felt products are the fair trade items which are produced by the poor and disadvantaged people mainly women surviving in the city on their own way. Purchasing these felt products will be considered as a support to those people who are suffering by the critical financial condition and hopefully help improve their lives
