Arcadia Home felt designs are hand-felted and lovingly created from 100% sustainable wool. The facility where these pieces are produced is an award-winning model of sustainability, which runs on solar electricity, collects rainwater, and recycles water on-site. By collaborating with this artisan group, Arcadia Home is helping to preserve the tradition of felt making in the area, promote eco-friendly business, and provide fair and safe employment for hundreds of artisan felt-makers, sheepherders, and seamstresses.
Hand felted wool is naturally hypoallergenic, waterproof, flame-resistant, and anti-microbial. What a perfect textile for home decor and holiday decorations!
Arcadia Home felt designs are made of “hand-felted wool,” which means that the wool is processed into felt by hand, rather than machine-processed or boiled. Hand-felted wool is thick and heavy-weight, making it durable and long-lasting, with a homespun texture and visible wool fibers. This is a very special quality of hand-felted wool, as it betrays the handicraft involved, as well as the fact that this amazing textile is made from a wonderful natural source – sheep’s wool. Hand felting is the most traditional method of processing wool into felt, and the technique is eco-friendly.
