Trader Joe's Hand Crafted Colorful Felted Wool Trivet Handcrafted Hot Pad

Description

Skilled artisans in Nepal use a traditional felting process to create these woolen watchdogs of the worktop. 100% New Zealand sheep’s wool is wrapped into loose balls, moistened with warm water then hand-rolled before being laid out to dry in the sun. The combination of moisture and warmth works to compact and stiffen the wool fibers (like your accidentally washed woolen sweater). Once the individual wool balls are completely dry, 100 of them are handsewn together to make a 6.5-inch x 6.5-inch square. Finally, they’re tagged, boxed, and shipped to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s.
They are fully functional, serving to protect your countertops and table surfaces from the hot undersides of pots and pans. Plus, they’re so pretty, they wouldn’t look out of place decorating your kitchen walls or holiday tables!
Pls not that each trivet has different color wool balls and patterns.
