PLEASE NOTE:
Although I have provided photos for reference, these stools are truly one-of-a-kind designs. Your piece will be similar but will have distinct variations. The wood for the legs is left natural - the shape is organic & not honed or manipulated with tools. The wool color, texture, lock length & lock thickness will vary within a single fleece as well as from sheep to sheep. If you are looking for a uniform machine made item this is not yout best choice. These footstools are an imperfectly perfect art piece to use and enjoy!

THE PROCESS:
* Felting is a labor intensive art with each finished piece involving many hours of work - all done by hand! The end result is undeniably lovely and because of the hand made nature, you can be assured that no two pieces will ever be the same (in fact, a sheep's fleece will always grow back in with subtle differences from year to year) - thus assuring you of original and functional art for your home

FIELD GRASS ETC:
* Prior to the actual felting process, I spend a great deal of time removing bits of bedding and vegetable matter from each fleece. These are real sheep living their best life out in their fields. Some sheep will have virtually no vegatative matter, while others will be chuck full! Therefore, please expect to find some remaining vegetable matter such as hay, straw, grain, tiny twigs etc. in your felted art piece. These bits shows up more evidently in light & dark colored fleeces. If you are concerned or have special needs, please feel free to send me a message:)

SHEDDING:
* My felted fleeces are entirely hand made, with the wool locks held into place by the process of felting. They respond to use much differently than a leather backed, tanned hide. Each fleece has its own characteristics & some will shed more than others. If you have a particular use in mind, feel free to contact me so I can do my best to assist you in selecting the most suitable fleece for your needs.

CLEANSING:
* My felted fleeces are "washed" during the design process and once completed, I hand wash each fleece thoroughly using an all natural plant based cleanser which is safe for the environment and restores the natural pH of the wool. They are then set out under the sun to dry.

CARE AND MAINTANENCE:
* Because the structure of wool fiber, it is naturally dirt and stain resistant. It is best to gently shake (outdoors) and finger fluff to maintain loft. If necessary, your felted piece can be hand washed (or spot cleaned) in cold water with a gentle wool cleanser like Unicorn or white vinegar. The excess water can be gently squeezed out or spun in your washing machine on the gentlest cycle, then set flat to air dry. Combing or vacuuming is never recommended.

Absolutely beautiful little stool. Great look, feel, and quality. Would recommend!


This footstool is absolutely beautiful. I thought I would be getting a small low to the ground stool. This stool is so large you could almost sit on it!!!!!!
