Himalayan Flower PinPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 5905460

SKU# 5905460

Warm colors in richly textured wool. Complement your winter outfit with a Nepali flower pin from the heart of Himalayas, handcrafted from felted wool. Assorted colors of orange and red, green and turquoise, or olive and navy. Felt refers to non-woven fabric formed when wool fibers lock together under heat, moisture and pressure. This bonding of fibers is called felting. At ACP some 60 women produce felt—all by hand, using hot water, soap and the pressure of their hands to bond fibers. ACP has been at the forefront of reviving this traditional skill in Nepal. Felt making likely began in Asia. It is an important folk tradition in Nepal, where people living in mountainous regions made felt carpets.
